Pure Genius! If bob can do this sounds like a good business opportunity for outsourcing coding jobs. All I will need to do is build the website

Genius... I do admit he shouldve been a bit more productive with his "free time" though.

Lol... I thought the same thing. This is hilarious and genius (though, I wouldn't like this all so much if I were his employer). The big question is why did he go through all of that trouble just to play on Facebook all day? Not so genius after all.

Probably for being smarter than his bosses.

They probably fired him and outsourced it themselves.

Egads this guy was working in an area of US critical infrastructure, enough so that his work required a physical USB authentication token that he shipped off to the folks in China. Next time there a "flash crash" in the stock market or some sort of "unusual event" at one of our nuclear reactors, we should keep this guy in mind

 

[howandwhy]

Sometimes really smart people do stupid things too. I mean why did he send the USB authentication token to China? What if the other guy break into the system and do something huge damage such as wiping the database or implant malware. He just could have delegated the job and should have received all the deliverable by email. Well hindsight is 20/20.

Well hindsight is 20/20.

Only perfect hindsight .. I regularly speak with people who have 5/5 or less hindsight (unfortunately).

It's brilliant to outsource your job, then just work full time on creating your fastlane business!

They fired him because he showed them how they could save 5 figures a year....

You must not be looking hard enough. I'm literally working with one Chinese guy right now developing an app.

firing the guy was a dumb move
they should have made him VP of development!
