Codesmith OSP code review: numerous "unbreak now" security vulnerabilities discovered after spending 5 minutes reviewing an "advanced security tool". Not the mid-level or senior engineering work it is claimed to be.

Calm down it’s literally a project made by beginners who started a couple months ago. Ive seen working people accidentally commit credentials before, as long as the keys are trashed its not a big deal. Michael no one actually believes codesmith is producing mid level engineers.

Well 3 people in the group say they worked on theos for 2 or 3 months on LinkedIn and it's listed as a Software Engineer job at a company so clearly people think this. And I have a couple of emails from alumni to the effect of 'how dare you contact anyone in the Codesmith community about Formation, we don't need you and leave us alone, we are already mid level and senior engineers' Of course people make mistakes and then they have to figure out how to fix that by rewriting the git history and changing all the credentials. In this case the credentials are all over the place and not just one bad commit. The project is not close to any production code I've seen and is blatantly being portrayed as so.
