Absolutely! This is why my salary is public at https://www.jvt.me/salary/ and whenever I see job posts I ask about salary ranges to be made public
Pay transparency is very important. Especially if you're a woman or PoC. When I told a coworker at my last job what I was making, he told me that I was way underpaid and should start looking. Increased my total comp by at least $70K after taking his advice.

Implementors use the terms interchangeably unless they are making distinctions. Even at a TLS working group meeting, no-one will care if you say SSL. Also it's basically always SSL certs, no-one says TLS certs. TLS "Well actually"ing is just idiotic gatekeeping.

String interpolation in log messages has been removed in Log4j 2.16.0, so one would have to use this pattern explicitly in the Log4j configuration file. In other words, an attacker would need to be able to overwrite the Log4j configuration to exploit this.(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ (@joschi83)Fri, 17 Dec 2021 08:29 GMT

I've written about this before in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/01/12/self-code-review/ and hugely recommend it - especially when there's a way to mark it as a Draft so it's clear it's not yet ready for review. After you've added comments, it may need you to address things before it can then go out to others in the team
