then, when pressure grows, blame it on an “accidentally” misconfigured servers that “unintentionally” reduced quality (which coincidentally happened to save the company tonnes of $).

Hello! I'm a full-stack engineer with a big love for the HomeLab & Home Assistant communities (I try to support some FOSS stuff when I can!)
If you've read this far, I humbly ask you to read my LinkedIn recommendations, and if you do follow up with an email, rick-roll me. I could use the laugh.
I wouldn't wait on this. The post has been up for a long time and appears to only be collecting CVs. I applied early last year and never got a response, and many others report the same.
Hi randomsofr, this posting has been continually posted since we are hiring on a rolling basis, not just for a single position. We have made hires for this position over time and continue to have openings.
We mention in our post-submission message that we only reach out if there’s a match, to spare applicant inboxes from negative messages (though perhaps we could make this messaging clearer). This follows what some companies such as Anthropic do and some of the reasoning in this post https://pablofernandez.tech/2023/02/03/you-should-not-send-r...
But I know that different people have different opinions on this, and we might shift to sending notification emails after resume review. I appreciate the feedback and I’m sorry about your experience here.
It's reliant on a bounty iirc for the server and device side code to be open-sourced. Will be about an hour after that I reckon and I cannot wait to contribute.
It's a boot script called /bin/nolongerevil.sh that supplies its own trust material and redirects traffic intended for frontdoor.nest.com to a hard-coded IP 15.204.110.215.
99.9% of this image is the original copyrighted Nest image.
Maybe it's enough for the bounty though? And I suppose you could change that IP to a local server. If you wanted to publish the server side Nest API discovered through WireShark . Just stand up your own http rest server.
presumably it's the reverse engineered server that has most of the work put into it, and one would hope that's what is going to be released if the developer decides to
It's not like $60m in funding was given as charity.
