Dear Third-Party API Support,

You're probably wondering how and why your authorization server has been getting hammered every single day for more than 4 years. It was me. It was us—the company I work for, I mean. Let me explain.

I’m an Anonymous developer at Initech. We have this one mission-critical system which was placed in production by the developer who created it, and then abandoned. Due to its instability, it received frequent patches, but no developer ever claimed ownership. No one ever took on the task of fixing its numerous underlying design flaws.

About 6 months ago, I was put in charge of this thing and told to fix it. There was no way I could do it on my own; I begged management for help and got 2 more developers on board. After we'd released our first major rewrite and fix, there were still a few lingering issues that seemed unrelated to our code. So I began investigating the cause.

This system has 10+ microservices which are connected like meatballs buried deep within a bowl of spaghetti that completely obscures what those meatballs are even doing. Untangling this code has been a chore in and of itself. Within the 3 microservices dedicated to automated tasks, I found a lot of random functionality ... and then I found this!

See, our system extracts data from your API. It takes the refresh token, requests a new access token, and saves it to our database. Our refresh token to this system is only valid for 24 hours; as soon as we get access, we download the data. Before we download the data, we ensure we have a valid access token by refreshing it.

One of our microservice's pointless jobs was to refresh the access token every 5, 15, and 30 minutes for 22 of the 24 hours we had access to it. It was on a job timer, so it just kept going. Every single consent for that day kept getting refreshed, over and over.

Your auditing tools must not have revealed us as the culprit, otherwise we should've heard about this much sooner. You've probably wasted countless hours of your lives sifting through log files with a legion of angry managers breathing down your necks. I’m writing to let you know we killed the thing. You won’t get spammed again on our watch. May this bring you some closure.

Sincerely,

A Developer Who Still Cares

They have shared concerns regarding how the high street has been closed off

The Daily Mail revealed the unlikely relationship with pictures showing the new couple kissing and cuddling on the deck of her 24-meter yacht, the Caravelle, off the coast of Santa Barbara, California.

One of the conditions of the peace deal is that Hamas hand over the remains of all the hostages who died - or were murdered - during the fighting. But this is easier said than done.

The couple were cruelly ripped apart from each other on October 7, 2023, and taken hostage by Palestinian militants, were pictured on Monday embracing for the first time in two years.

The State Department on Tuesday revealed it has reviewed online social media posts and clips of Kirk following his death at a Utah college campus on September 10.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: On Monday, a publicly-sourced archive of more than 10,000 national park signs and monument placards went public as part of a massive volunteer project to save historical and educational placards from around the country that risk removal by the Trump administration. Visitors to national parks and other public monuments at more than 300 sites across the U.S. took photos of signs and submitted them to the archive to be saved in case they're ever removed in the wake of the Trump administration's rewriting of park history. The full archive is available here, with submissions from July to the end of September. The signs people have captured include historical photos from Alcatraz, stories from the African American Civil War Memorial, photos and accounts from the Brown v. Board of Education National History Park, and hundreds more sites. "I'm so excited to share this collaborative photo collection with the public. As librarians, our goal is to preserve the knowledge and stories told in these signs. We want to put the signs back in the people's hands," Jenny McBurney, Government Publications Librarian at the University of Minnesota and one of the co-founders of the Save Our Signs project, said in a press release. "We are so grateful for all the people who have contributed their time and energy to this project. The outpouring of support has been so heartening. We hope the launch of this archive is a way for people to see all their work come together."
