Do u have a kill switch in the possible scenario ur fired and they hire a Jeet to replace you

>>106394049 (OP)
The best revenge you can do against a current employer is to get a job that pays double your current and leave without 2 weeks notice. Any more than that and you end up in prison like this negroni here.

>>106394049 (OP)
I don't need one. All the small businesses I've worked for were on the verge of collapse entirely on their own before I rescued them.

you guys have jobs?

if you are a dev you are fucked if you insert actual killswitch.
if you are admin just make sure some not-immediately-obvious issues like some leaking cache filling entire storage server every week etc are never properly resolved and instead are being mitigated by scripts hosted on your local account instead of permanently deployed on the server in question. if discovered feign confident incompetence "wdym it could break, look it just werks".
at my previous place everything was held together by such undocumented scripts mostly out of genuine incompetence of everyone involved.

I go the George Costanza route. I'm always trying to get myself replaced and somehow it just ends up making me more valuable.

Couldn't you just write deliberately unreadable code like people used to do in the old days?

Based
The big-brain way to have a kill switch is to make it where no one understands your code and you intentionally train all of your replacements wrong. Which is very common in the tech world, especially in big companies.

Big companies will lay off 200 people and then hire a consultation firm for 10X what they paid those 200 people a year later when nothing is working or pay 50X what it cost to pay them replacing all of their systems and features they worked on. Because they're big companies, they can afford it, everyone should feel free extorting them as much as they extort themseves with contractors.

don't make anything automatic. Force everything to be user-triggered and have a paper-list of which files do what, which command arguments to pass, and which variables are manipulated. Never use environment variables. instead, manually pass all of the information to your scripts by command-line, being sure to use an environment that lets you add a space before each line to skip adding to history, and if possible, done through a socket that you delete when it's done.

Have a list of to-do things every day, week, month, never allow Cron to do any of it. Only do it yourself.

keep all of these arcane command-line arguments on physical paper (not a txt file) which you keep with you in a stamped and sealed envelope addressed to someone you know (they need a subpoena from that person to open it the moment it's sealed, thanks US Post office, the last branch of Government that's not 100% subservient to corpos)

they want to replace you with automation? become the automation. leave no trace of the automation. Let them figure it out if they decide you don't want to be the automation. Don't sabotage systems, that's too obvious. Make systems that will sabotage themselves if not kept up with proper maintenance from people who are in-the-know. Those kinds of people that would be needed to fix those problems cost magnitudes more than they are ever willing to pay for your replacement.

brainfuck doesn't work with AI, sadly. It was great a few years ago but an AI can read straight through it, now. A better approach is to make intentionally large and bloated projects with tons of references so if anyone asks an AI to simplify it, then there are so many moving parts it becomes undefined. This helps if a program does multiple unrelated things, only sharing some related functions.

second week on the job the new tech lead decided to factory reset an isp owned ots router because 'the internet was slow'. site was offline until isp came out to set it back up again. but my boss thinks the sun shine out his ass because he is just as retarded.
anyway, nobody competent needs to worry about a kill switch, if they fire you just let nature run its course.

why not do something productive instead and form a union to protect yourself from imported cheap labor?

>>106394905
>union
go back

>>106394905
because my state is ran by rethuglicunts which have spent the last 50 years, longer than I've been alive or could vote, systematically cracking down on Unions and even allowing corporations to hunt down and kill union leaders with less than a slap on the wrist.

they call it "right to work" which is the funniest irony. I love how all the piggy shiteaters love making their anti-human machinations mean the exact opposite of what they do.

>>106394930
your state is "run" by rethuglicunts, anon.
also, unions are fucking rackets and ruin businesses by protecting the incompetent.
we already have labor laws, idiot.

>also, unions are fucking rackets and ruin businesses by protecting the incompetent.
Unions are the only reason you had something resembling schooling, for all the good it did, instead of working from the ripe age of 5 and growing up with a few digits missing in a milling machine.

It's no coincidence the massive blitz of outsourcing and immigration came directly alongside Unions being cracked down on by the government and drilled into children's minds as being 'fucking rackets that ruin small business like amazon and protecting the incompetent' at a young age. Unions were the only reason America produced anything of value and became an economic powerhouse. All of your fathers and grandfathers were in unions. Piggy hates unions because they dictate that they can't replace skilled workers with Pablo and Pajeet for worse work at a fraction of the cost.

So now we have a thread about someone having to put timebombs in his code because unions are illegal in most red states, even blue states have massively shrunk the power of collective bargaining rights, instead of someone feeling secure enough about his job to do good work and be paid good money to do it. What a fucking concept, huh?

>your state is "run" by rethuglicunts, anon.
Oh thanks, I'm glad actual nazis can also be grammar nazis.

>>106395082
It's not big brained because if it's on your local account they can just take your account information and reverse-engineer what you did. It would take an intern maybe a week of work to do it, and all major companies have root access to any account you make on their machines or any machine they allow to connect to their VPN.

If it's a small enough company that they don't have the resources to dedicate, then great, make it all automated. Otherwise they're going to be able to fix it within a week of your departure and it won't even be a second thought on doing it.

i'm glad they just appeared spontaneously one day and there wasn't a group of workers in a union of some sort who made them happen.

dumbass actually coded his killswich
the high iq way is just to acquire years of critical and obscure business logic knowledge in your head and never document a piece of it anywhere

>>106394049 (OP)
no but i could do only minor damage anyway so it isn't worth it
well maybe it could be if there are no jobs available. then 4 years in prison would be cheaper than rent with no job

I don't need a kill switch. The software I'm working on has so many fucking bugs it's incredibly anything is still working after all these years.

>>106394049 (OP)
Do it for everyone on the team. Sign the comments with the initials for some HR broad. Deny, deny, deny. Challenge chain of custody. Don’t go to prison. It’s that shrimple

>>106394905
Unions exist to shield incompetent workers from accountability.

Before I left one job I deleted all the files on the computer I'd made for how to run the department smoothly and took all the physical copies I'd made and put them into the trash compactor.
Before, I'd made it so someone with zero experience could just step in and do things smoothly. Afterwards, even the people I'd trained struggled.

>blatantly having your kill switch with your initials doing lookups for your actual account.
this nigga was giga retarded, wasn't he?

nice where do i sign up?

he could've talked to some ransomware people and purposely gotten himself phished or something instead he used his own domain admin account to leave 10 million forensic traces as an experienced sysadmin lol

>>106394049 (OP)
The real kill switch is them hiring a pajeet and needing to contract you in for 4x your contract rate after he fucks everything up.

>>106394049 (OP)
just write incomprehensible code that nobody except you can maintain

>>106395164
Correct.
>>106394930
>>106395095
STFU you stupid redditard lol.
What improved living standards was higher labour productivity caused by technology caused by capitalism, not cartels like unions.

If red states are so bad, why are people fleeing from blue states to red states, my demonrat friend?

unions make the goods and services I buy more expensive, thus I oppose them
simple as

>>106394905
>Be tech guy
>Start union
>Company tries hiring poos
>Go on strike
>Company hires poos anyway
>Strike never ends
>Company forgets you exist
Unions only work if the company can't have your replacement instantly parachuted in from the third world.

blue states are so good all the homeless and illegal mexican niggas go there for the handouts, so they need to go somewhere safe (and fuck that up too)

he did it the dumbest way possible, still pretty funny

>This kill switch, the DOJ said, appeared to have been created by Lu because it was named "IsDLEnabledinAD," which is an apparent abbreviation of "Is Davis Lu enabled in Active Directory." It also "automatically activated" on the day of Lu's termination in 2019, the DOJ said, disrupting Eaton Corp. users globally.

>Eaton Corp. discovered the malicious code while trying to end the infinite looping causing the systems to crash. They soon realized the code was being executed from a computer using Lu's user ID, a court filing said, and running on a server that only Lu, as a software developer, had access to. On that same server, other malicious code was found, including the code deleting user profile data and activating the kill switch, the filing said.

>Additionally, the DOJ rooted through Lu's search history and found evidence that "he had researched methods to escalate privileges, hide processes, and rapidly delete files, indicating an intent to obstruct efforts of his co-workers to resolve the system disruptions."

>>106394930
Just demand that a non-compete ban be included in any "right to work" legislation and watch them immediately start kvetching.

>>106394790
>they need a subpoena
Bro if they have it they'll just open it and all your accusations will be denied because you have no proof.

>>106398101
Jeets write even less comprehensible code, they'll understand yours just fine
