Chapter 15 I Don't Believe
Chapter 15 I don’t believe it!!!
Although he is annoying, Meng Fei can actually understand him.
A company is a group of people who join together to survive in this world.
There is nothing gentle about this. Either survive or everyone breaks up and goes home.
There are many other companies in this world, trying every possible means to knock you down and replace you all the time.
The same is true within the company. Each team is a group of people bound to a small boat trying desperately to survive. The opponents are other teams in the same company.
Only when the group succeeds can it obtain resources and continue to develop. As it continues to develop, the group can become several groups, and several groups can become a department, and everyone can rise step by step together.
If you fail, the team will disband, the group will disappear, and everyone will pack up and go their separate ways, each seeking a future.
Do you think that in the company, everyone has their own position, performs their duties, and stays together until old age? That was a state-owned enterprise five hundred years ago, right?
What is it now? Embrace change. The company's organizational structure is changing every day. If any branch or leaf does not grow and bear fruit, it will only wither and die.
Whether it is Liu Gang from the development team or Ouyang Cong from the vulnerability team, they are all the same, but their methods and styles are different.
"fart!"
As soon as Liu Gang finished speaking, a fat man with a round face almost exploded on the spot. Fatty Chen is one of the main code writers in the vulnerability team, with a simple personality and a hot temper.
"Many bugs were obviously raised by us, but you found various reasons not to correct them. In the end, customers complained. How dare you criticize them here?"
In the darkness, a sneer appeared on Liu Gang's face. This was the effect he wanted.
Although the few words he said were poisonous enough, they would never actually lead to the vulnerability group being revoked and merged into the development group.
But the more people in the vulnerability team use foul language in front of the big boss, the more Mr. Luo will be left with the label that this team is bad-tempered, difficult to cooperate with, and difficult to manage.
No matter how powerful the technology is, what's the use? If you can't communicate, cooperate, or manage, not only will you not be able to create any value, but it will be a time bomb.
Seeing that the situation was about to explode, Luo An spoke calmly: "Chen Han, what specific bugs have not been corrected and were finally complained by customers? Please give one or two examples and we will review them."
At this time, it was Fatty Chen's turn to make an impassioned speech, but he suddenly turned off the engine and opened his mouth, but could not spit out even a single word, as if it was filled with invisible glue.
Although they are both vulnerability discovery teams, their division of labor is still different. Fatty Chen writes code without risking his life, but his main responsibility is to develop tools related to vulnerability discovery, not to fix bugs.
His conclusion only came from an impression: he saw that his team kept sending out emails reporting bugs, while the security development team kept replying to emails explaining the reasons why modifications were not needed, and the two sides often argued.
But he had no idea which BUG corresponded to which problem the customer complained about.
Customer complaints tend to be:
"Backed off again!"
"My computer always has a blue screen!"
"Last night I was stuck for a long time when opening a file!"
Such vague complaints, who knows which line of code corresponds to the problem?
In principle, customer complaints should be followed up and addressed by the development team and have nothing to do with the vulnerability team.
Liu Gang dumped all the problems on the vulnerability team, but he just secretly changed the concepts of BUG and vulnerability.
But what is shown is that the people in the vulnerability team have bad tempers, cannot communicate, know nothing about the customers' problems, and talk nonsense...
This was exactly the perfect situation he wanted. So Liu Gang didn't say a word at this moment, contentedly moving his stool and sitting down to watch the show.
"Mr. Luo, I have an example. Let me review it. Let me connect the projector." After less than half a second of silence, Meng Fei suddenly chuckled, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Okay." Luo An nodded.
Meng Fei's dark blue tones and cool sci-fi style desktop immediately appeared on the big screen.
This laptop is the development laptop he uses in the company. Although it is not the same as the one at home, the theme and style are not much different.
Meng Fei opened Notepad, then switched the input method, and then entered a sentence with a series of keystrokes.
But his words were not immediately entered into the notepad. The input method was stuck.
The input method window is expanded, and an icon is constantly rotating there, but the expanded part is always blank and nothing is displayed.
"I wonder if Mr. Luo has ever encountered a situation where he got stuck while typing?"
Luo An nodded and said, "I've met him before."
This was a problem for him, but not a big problem.
When a certain word gets stuck, he presses ESC to exit the input, and then re-enters it, and it is often fine. Besides, this situation is not common.
"Have Mr. Luo noticed that this only happens on the company intranet and never at home?"
Luo An thought about it carefully and said, "It seems true."
Does it only happen on the company intranet? That means it has to do with a certain system that is only available on the company intranet?
Could it be...
Intranet security system actually affects the user's input method?
This is a bit irrelevant.
Liu Gang's originally relaxed and leisurely gaze became a little serious. He had roughly guessed Meng Fei's intention, and immediately stood up and interrupted:
"When have customers ever complained about such a small problem?"
"Haha," Meng Fei clicked his mouse, opened his mailbox, and instantly pulled out a "User Feedback Information Notice" from more than a month ago, one of which read:
“Some users have reported that after installing the intranet security system provided by Mantis Software, the input method may occasionally freeze.
"Investigation conclusion of the development team: It has been tested and cannot be reproduced. It is speculated that it is caused by a problem with the input method itself. The probability of occurrence is low and has nothing to do with the security system. The problem is closed."
Liu Gang almost cursed out loud.
There are hundreds of user feedbacks every day, and you remember the emails for more than a month so clearly. Isn’t this premeditated???
In fact, not only Liu Gang was shocked, but other people in the vulnerability team were also shocked.
This guy Meng Fei hasn't said a few words in five or six years of work. When did he become so sharp-tongued and seductive?
"What evidence do you have that this problem is related to the intranet security system?"
Liu Gang held on to his last glimmer of hope, which was that Meng Fei had not actually investigated this issue and was just guessing.
If Meng Fei just speculated without evidence, he could give a hundred reasons to get rid of this matter.
Even if Meng Fei finds evidence and sends it to Luo An in the future, things will have changed and the impact on the development team will become very small.
Before that, he just needs to work harder and get better results.
Meng Fei raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Not only am I sure this problem is related to the intranet security system, but it can also be repaired on the spot."
Liu Gang's face was a bit weirdly shocked.
Repair on the spot?
Are you kidding me?
Do you have to change the source code of the intranet development system on the spot, fix the bugs, and then compile, install, and verify on the spot?
This is impossible.
Because he does not have the source code of the intranet security system.
For Liu Gang, the source code of the intranet security system is his lifeblood. If there is the source code, he is there. Without the source code, he has nothing.
Except for the direct developers, himself and his immediate boss Luo An, he does not open the permission to read the source code to anyone at all.
For the vulnerability discovery team that has close contact with the business, he is even more protective against fire, theft, and vulnerabilities!
Therefore, the vulnerability team discovers vulnerabilities through black box attack testing instead of directly reading the source code.
If another group has his source code, it means that other groups can replace his work at any time, so what is his irreplaceability?
In an emergency, Luo An can download his code and deliver it to another group for continued development. But in fact Luo An will not do this. He will not easily do something that would dissatisfy his love general.
Can you fix bugs without source code?
I do not believe!!!
