That was not a fun week to be a developer.
As a non-java company developer at the time, I think our biggest challenge was explaining to everyone that Log4j didn't affect us. It took a non-zero amount of effort because a lot of customers panicked. To be fair, it was also an industry where confidentiality is important.
Also a lot of people were pulling it transitively.
Oh man. I missed it by like a month. I graduated with my bachelors in December, and started in January. I was hearing horror stories from my new coworkers about how people had to cancel vacations to get stuff patched asap
It was if none of your code used log4j. I remember being very grateful that I had chosen
java.util.loggingand Logback for my Java logging needs.Lol, yeah for us we didn't own any of the code that used it but depended on server software made internally that did. At the time we managed our own hosts, so it was a long week of deployments.
