   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

• Why is it important to keep the frontend up to date on dependencies if your backend is secure?

  I worked at Facebook, where we communicate with each other using an internal version of Facebook. Once, our frontend security engineer (author of https://escape.alf.nu) wrote a clickbait story which ended with “… (read more)”, like most long Facebook stories did at the time. However, he had exploited an XSS hole in our frontend so that clicking the “read more” link allowed arbitrary Javascript to execute on your... Source: 7 months ago
