The temporary fix wasn't very user friendly. It was a plain text response "Please try again later" when trying to upload a resume.



Yeah. In the 1 day timeframe between temp and permanent fix you could not upload resume, which is a breaking change for end users.

But, I think it was pushed because it was Sunday and Careers team was not on site to properly/permanently fix the bug.


Well, they had to figure out what was going on with software from a 3rd party vendor. That likely adds overhead.

But hey, I'd break all kinds of functionality temporarily to make sure this exploit - which as is explained, looked worse than it ended up being, wasn't actually as bad as (or worse than) it did look.


I agree with this, too. Personally, I would probably do the same. A day of breaking small part of site vs killing local file read seems like a good trade.
