Although he is annoying, Meng Fei can actually understand him.
A company is a group of people who join forces 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 group is a group of people tied to a small boat and desperately trying to survive. The opponents are other groups 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 turn into several groups, and several groups can turn into 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.
What is it now? Embrace change. The organizational structure of a company changes every day. If any branch or leaf does not grow or bear fruit, it will wither and die.
Whether it is Liu Gang from the development team or Ouyang Cong from the vulnerability team, they are actually 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. He has 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?"
A sneer appeared on Liu Gang's face in the darkness. This is the effect he wants.
Although the 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 someone in the bug team swears in front of the big boss, the more Mr. Luo will be left with the label that the team is bad-tempered, difficult to work with, and difficult to manage.
What’s the use of having more powerful technology? If you can't communicate, cooperate, or manage, not only will you not be able to create any value, but it will become 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 often include:
"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 to the vulnerability team, which was just a secret change of the concepts of BUG and vulnerability.
But what showed up was that the people in the vulnerability team were bad-tempered, unable to communicate, knew nothing about the customers' problems, and talked nonsense...
This was 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 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 is stuck.
The input method window was expanded, and an icon was constantly rotating there, but the expanded part was always blank and nothing was displayed.
"I wonder if Mr. Luo has ever encountered a situation where he got stuck while typing?"
Luo An nodded and said, "I have encountered it."
This was a problem for him, but not a big one.
When a certain word gets stuck, he presses ESC to quit typing, and then re-enters it, and it usually gets better. Besides, there aren't many cases like this.
"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 to be true."
Does it only happen on the company intranet? Does that mean it has to do with a certain system that exists only on the company's intranet?
Could it be...
Will the intranet security system affect the user's input method?
This is a bit irrelevant.
Liu Gang's originally relaxed eyes 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 from 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 have changed and the impact on the development team will become very small.
Until then, he just needs to work harder and get better results.
Meng Fei raised his lips 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 want 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 source code, there is him; without source code, he has nothing.
Except for the direct developers, himself and his immediate boss Luo An, he did not open 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, Roan could download his code and hand it over to another group for continued development. But in fact Luo An would not do that. He would not easily do something that would make his lover dissatisfied.
Can you fix bugs without source code?
I do not believe! ! !
