Episode notes

A colleague of mine used a file sharing service to send multiple files to colleagues at the same time. The files contain credentials and passwords to access all of our databases. It only took 30 minutes for my colleague to realize his mistake and take down the company. A few years have passed and no leaks have been detected. So we might be in the clear, but we'll never know for sure.

In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott tell your spookiest scary web dev stories including spooky render times, push notification hell, dark Friday, and more!
