Bounty writeup
GitHub RCE by Environment variable injection Bug Bounty writeup
Disclaimer: I'll keep this really short but I hope you'll get the key points.
GitHub blogged a while ago about some internal tool called gerve:
https://github.com/blog/530-how-we-made-github-fast
Upon git+sshing to github.com gerve basically looks up your permission
on the repo you want to interact with. Then it bounces you further in
another forced SSH session to the back end where the repo actually is.

A list of questions you could ask while interviewing

A lot of these are outright stolen from Edward O'Campo-Gooding's list of questions. I really like his list.

I'm having some trouble paring this down to a manageable list of questions -- I realistically want to know all of these things before starting to work at a company, but it's a lot to ask all at once. My current game plan is to pick 6 before an interview and ask those.

I'd love comments and suggestions about any of these.

I've found questions like "do you have smart people? Can I learn a lot at your company?" to be basically totally useless -- everybody will say "yeah, definitely!" and it's hard to learn anything from them. So I'm trying to make all of these questions pretty concrete -- if a team doesn't have an issue tracker, they don't have an issue tracker.

I'm also mostly not asking about principles, but the way things are -- not "do you think code review is important?", but "Does all code get reviewed?".

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.

// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.

Twitter revoke all OAuth
go to settings > applications and paste the following javascript into your browser console or the address bar:
javascript:var a=document.querySelectorAll('button.revoke');for(var i=0, len=a.length; i<len; i++) { if(a[i].innerHTML=="Revoke access"){a[i].click();};
that will automatically click 'revoke' for all the applications
not that some browsers, such as chrome, will remove the 'javascript:' part if you paste it in, just type it back in and press enter. leave the browser open for 15-20 seconds and then refresh
