hi, i'm daniel. i'm a 15-year-old with some programming experience and i do a little bug hunting in my free time. here's the insane story of how I found a single bug that affected over half of all Fortune 500 companies:

say hello to zendesk

If you've spent some time online, you’ve probably come across Zendesk.

Zendesk is a customer service tool used by some of the world’s top companies. It’s easy to set up: you link it to your company’s support email (like [email protected]), and Zendesk starts managing incoming emails and creating tickets. You can handle these tickets yourself or have a support team do it for you. Zendesk is a billion-dollar company, trusted by big names like Cloudflare.

Personally, I’ve always found it surprising that these massive companies, worth billions, rely on third-party tools like Zendesk instead of building their own in-house ticketing systems.

Let's Destroy C

I have a pet project I work on, every now and then. CNoEvil.

The concept is simple enough.

Multiple versions of Angular on the same Website

When developing JavaScript applications that need to be embedded into other websites that are controlled by other code than yours, you should be careful about what you expose globally and should prevent polluting the global namespace (the window object) as much as possible. This can rather easily be achieved with your own code. But what if you depend on third-party libraries such as jQuery, Lodash, Moment.js or Angular.js? All of these put themselves onto the window object regardless whether the original site is already using the same library, probably a different version. And you should just rely on exactly the versions you use within your code and not theirs nor should you overwrite their versions and potentially break their whole application.

I was facing all of these issues because my application needed to embedded into all kinds of environments which already use jQuery or lodash (very common) and even Angular. The Angular.js library even prevents lo
