Att security best in class is an oxymoron - that is what you get when you hire friends and family and not people who know what they are doing.
Now it's 90-120days for US. International will follow after US based on country specs
What's the timing for the spin off to be finalized? I thought it was Q1.
Therr was townhall with new leadership. New CEO brought 5 or 6 his own people, people he trusts.
A lot or excitement to run as sturtup.
There will be a lot of changes a people will have to adapt.
But looking good for now
“T security is trash because they refuse to realign the company in a way that will attract industry leading talent. We rely on antiquated TSS exceptions and other pointless procedures that perform no real role in actual security but do hamstring developers and prevent them from producing good products.”
A lot of the software running on the backend is significantly out of date due to the lack of bandwidth to update and maintain it, lack of will, or lack of skill on part of the developers / engineers.
Systems are usually set up in a way that would prevent proper changes and updates being made without causing outages, redundancy is rare, and CSO is inept and refuse to approve even simple things like the latest version of Java.
A lot of our systems still run on Java 11 when the latest version is 22.
There are a few very skilled developers at T but the vast majority of truly skilled ones jump ship due to all the BS while you have people from HR on here saying ‘hurr durr get back to the office lazy’ sure, and that will leave you with the worst of the worst and the ones with options will work somewhere else, in turn tanking your company.
The point is, management is d-mb, good software requires good skilled devs, to get good devs they need to pay more and give more benefits, management is full of boomers who view developers as a cost center and not a profit center, so we get bad devs, and thus have bad products and bad software.
“The recent breach clef to an industry realization T doesn’t have best in class security and has put the deal on hold.”
