inb4 they wait until his last day then roll back the changes because functional code/unauthorized changes are against company policy and actually they need that bug to slow down the user so they don't click so fast the database crashes.

NGL I apply to places where I use the software. But it's not one thing, it's a dozen things I would fix.

I actually never successfully got the job. Probably because during the interview, I come off like a rambling psychopath pointing out extremely specific things.

Part of my previous company's hiring process included having the candidate use our software, then asking what they thought of the experience and what improvements they thought would have the most impact. It wasn't entirely useful because devs weren't in control of prioritizing changes, but it was always interesting to see which pain points stuck out to the candidate.

Let the patch be part of the code for one or two minor releases. Then revert the changes of the patch.

Why would they do that? Talk about generating mistrust.

It may not be malice. Incompetence.

They are going to “accidentally” remove a fix?
