Comment on OkCupid's “Removed” Visitor APIparent

I am, and have been. That's why it's so outlandish to me - I keep user data in mind all the time. Finding out you're leaking sensitive personal data is a slippery slope I (nor my clients) want to go down.

Are you implying that it's not outlanding for professional programmers to not have these things in mind?

Data leaks like these happen with some frequency, which is why they are not outlandish.

You keeping data in mind has no bearing on whether or not data leaks are outlandish. You don't seem to understand what the word means, tbh.

No, I directly implied that your real or feigned surprise at this happening makes it look like you don't understand the industry. If you're familiar with the industry it shouldn't be a surprise that this happens.

I can only speak for myself, having never worked for massive clients with deep pockets. I care more than my employers. "does spending time on that make moniez?" "I mean...." "Then no, let's do that cool loading spinner as it is all about user experience".
