I did something similar (though I used a slightly different method to intercept traffic) to make the US version of the Costco app better: www.97cost.co
I'm only surfacing two api requests that Costco's app is using, but even with a server as a middle man between the browser and Costo's backend this is way faster than the app.
I am a little confused because I got a 401 when I tried to pull an image from there. Do I need a login or something? For a free image it sure doesn't feel that way.
I think there are crawlers that do that. Somehow I accidentally had a commit with an openai key in it, and when I published an open source repo with that commit within ~20 seconds I got an email from openai someone had retired my exposed key.
Every job I've had with Gusto has managed to screw up payroll at some point. The support from Gusto is very poor, even a supervisor that's offshore when you call em won't be able to understand your basic questions.

I heard on npr, can't remember which radio show, that customers these days do a really poor job of punishing poor companies. They cited the statistic that the most pissed off customer is only 2% less likely to use a service/product than the most loyal customer.
Dude you do not understand how bad those "APIs" are for booking flights. Customers of Travelport often have screen reading software that reads/writes to a green screen. There's also tele-type, but like most of the GDS providers use old IBM TPF mainframes.
I spent the first two years of my career in the space, we joked anything invented post Michael Jackson's song Thriller wasn't present.
There have been previous articles posted with people's direct experience with the hiring process at Canonical. I don't think this is a good candidate for a case study.
What are the consequences of this? I think they can seize the domain for free if I'm misrepresenting the site as part of github, but lets assume I use no branding, etc what's the worst that can happen?
