"VulnDate" - the dating app for vulnerability researchers to connect with the incident responders whose evenings and weekends they're ruining.

I don't get this joke. If you don't like hearing about vulnerabilities until it's convenient, why not just not read your email? That way you can choose when you want to learn your users are in danger.

The joke is that the evenings and weekends are ruined by having to respond to vulnerabilities that take forever and the moving of mountains to fix. The punchline is that software is hard, not that reporters are jerks.

Right, but the people pointing out the danger aren't ruining weekends? Isn't that like saying "don't call 911 on a friday afternoon"? I can see the argument that the vendor or the attackers ruined weekends, but how did the researcher?

You're either reading too much into it, or the joke sucked. Or both. Incidentally I did work "for 911" and we bemoaned our ruined weekends and nights regularly, even though we'd never _blame someone_ for calling 911. :)

I dunno, I hear "It's malicious to report vulnerabilities on Fridays" all the time - and I don't get it. Just don't read it until Monday, sucks for your users, but many vendors prefer being informed about dangers to their users as quickly as possible

I know you're ex-911, that's why I said it - The person at fault ruined your weekend, but clearly not the person reporting it! So I can see a joke like "Attackers who don't take off weekends are jerks", or "Vendor cutting corners should compensate me for my weekends", etc, etc

A lot of time "concerned parties" would call 911 for issues that dragged us out of bed for no reason. We'd definitely shit-talk those cases even though we'd never, EVER say "Don't call 911 unless you're sure it's serious".

Your'e definitely right though, the person who called 911 to report a warehouse on fire is the hero, and the person who stored volatile chemicals in unapproved containers near the smoking deck was the idiot.

Fair, it was an imperfect analogy
The point was the blame lies with the person at fault, not the researchers for pointing out the dangers. You said "vulnerability researchers", if you had said "fsb agents" or whatever instead....joke would still have worked

Yep. Software is hard and, it turns out, humor isn't easy as breathing either :D
