Story time, /g/. I'm a code monkey currently looking for

Roll for a wisdom check against your morals. DC12, since it's sticky whether or not they intended it.

lookie here, you're looking for a job, they may have given you these keys but it's pretty obvious what you should do with it.

if you want the job, just do the technical challenge and contact your recruiter about this issue, you might even get a better offer

>>55777702
That's where it's sticky, quaddie.

If the situation is as such, this is either unlikely test or a sign of utter incompetence.

The latter is far more likely.

Do you want to work for people who would make that type of mistake.

>>55777702
It's not like I'm considering stealing their money, at a minimum the digital trail would easily land me in prison. But do I really want to work at a company with such shit security practices? Do I write something up on Medium and post it to HN? Do I email Stripe security informing them that one of their clients is just hanging out their API keys?

You'd really be fucking them over, publicizing this. There's consequences for that, but go figure.

No point going black on this stuff, ought to just wash your hands of it and consider other employers.

How long has it been since you'd gotten all this?

How long will it be until someone realizes what they've done?

>>55777756
Yes, but how many other people have they sent this to? The zip is dated a week ago, am I the first? If I just tell them they fucked up and move on, will they actually do anything about it? Don't their clients deserve to know that their names, addresses, phone numbers, drivers license numbers, and other shit are being emailed around like it's nothing? It's not like they don't deserve to get fucked a bit.

They did that on purpose. They're testing your moral fortitude. It's all bullshit that they're pretending is real to see if you'd actually do something bad with it.

Another point I should bring up is that this challenge is utter bullshit. It's one thing to ask me to write up some dinky little program with no practical use, it's another thing entirely to essentially ask me to implement a feature in your product. Fuck that.

>inb4 its a test server with some randomized data that only works there
who da fuck would give away _production_ details to an outsider?

Starting to seem a lot more like some oddball communication test.

If you're down for muscling past awkwardness, be a mensch and call somebody about it ASAP

>>55777824
That's what I thought at first, and honestly keep hoping for. Some of the data is obviously fake, with names like Abe Lincoln, but unless they've created fake Facebook profiles for the rest of the client data, it would seem to be real. There's way more data here than there needs to be just for running tests.

>>55777871
What time is it where you're at? You should call them.

You're an idiot if you don't abuse that. I wouldn't know where to begin looking, but I'm sure there's some fuck out there who would gladly pay for that kind of information.

I suspect they don't want to hire you, they just want you to do this one implementation and then profit off in while not paying you or a contractor for it.
