My first reaction was to delete the stuff, get rid of it. After that, I had no evidence and would have had to leave the country after losing my job! I also had all the other employees to think about.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Picture yourself spending a day in the office doing nothing but looking at hardcore. Never knowing if the next one you opened would be seriously nasty. Or if someone would glance over your shoulder and see what you were looking at and assume you were goofing off with pron.
Yes. It was disgusting.

I once had to "take over" the computer of an employee who spent most of his time drunk.
In the previous three months he'd downloaded some very expensive, stolen software (for running music sturdios), and rearranged about ten lines of code in one file. And I do mean rearrange. That was his entire contribution to the company for those 90 days (and thank God since they guy was a terrible developer, even when sober. He had, however, soon after I arrived drive home the point of never slip-streaming just DLLs/SharedObjects onto a server, by doing just that and crashing it.)

As there are actually people who enjoy that horror why not employ some of those caught to do that job. They are already corrupted and are now in state control, make let them troll through the stuff that would turn a normal persons stomach.
I am assuming you cannot actually rehabilitate the worst offenders so why not use them as a resource.

I don't know about that. Someone would interpret it as rewarding them for being sick and depraved.

I see it as a mental illness.
I had to write a pervy character, the once, and it took me a Hell of an effort to find the mind-set that allowed me to make him real.
I had to all but break my mind to do it. It's simply not natural to look at children and have sexual thoughts; the genetic imperative is to protect and nurture them, so that they can grow and procreate themselves, extending the lifespan of the species.
I was in a sh1tty mood for weeks, after I handed it in. Peace of mind was not possible; I was best avoided.
Even thinking back to it now, I'm getting the same, sh1tty, nasty feelings.
Pass me a troll. I feel like biting someone's head off.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

There was an article in the insider recently (couple of weeks/months ago) about two Microsoft employees who sued Microsoft.
They were tasked with something similar and they were now suing as it had scarred them for life and they did not get proper counseling to deal with their emotions.
Microsoft denied the allegations and said they have plenty of people to adequately support the job.
I don't know how much is true, but such a job does something to you (unless you're a psychopath I guess).

A friend of mine recently had a nap, and then went out to try to buy a candle. They told him they were out of stock.
Which just goes to show: there's no wick for the rested.

I'm almost at the point of defeat.
To develop an iOS app using Visual Studio / Xamarin you need to connect to a host Mac running XCode.
Getting Visual Studio to connect to the Mac involved physically setting up a new router since Wifi seemed to be a problem, then installing XCode. And Xamarin Studio. Or may this wasn't necessary - depends on the forum you read. And cursing. And then suddenly it worked.
But then adding my Apple account to Xamarin requires installing fastlane which throws you to a terminal window in order to login to your account (but which? macOS or AppleID? Turns out AppleID), which then borks because you need to create an App-specific password, Which then doesn't work.
So back to VS. I build, but the build fails because I need a code signing certificate. Back to the mac. Generate a CSR, create a cert, download the cert, install it in the keychain (the login one, it turns out), and try again.
error : No installed provisioning profiles match the installed iOS signing identities.
OK. Sigh. Xamarin help says to use the "Organiser" window in XCode, so I go there, and I see "Archives" and "Crashes". Nothing in Archives, but "Crashes", for some reason, offers me the chance to sign in with my Apple Id and from there I can see my signing identities and provisioning profiles. Except it's not offering to create a provisioning profile.
So back to developer.apple.com to manually create a provisioning profile and we try again. No luck.
OK. Let's step back and have another crack at adding an account to Xamarin. Looks like the issue is with 2FA and the Apple ID. I hear that VS Code solves this so I download VS code, install, run, add account. It works!
I rebuild in Visual Studio on my Windows machine. It works! Oh - no it doesn't. No provisioning profile.
So I hunt around, I try to manually create a profile but it's asking for my device ID (what's the ID of an emulator?) and I give up. A day lost.
So I move to VS Code on the Mac and create a new project from the project templates and attempt to build / run. Except it doesn't even build. A new project generated by VS Code with zero changes doesn't even build out of the box. Looks like it's Android issues so I unload that portion and try the iOS.
No provisioning profile.
FFS.
I know this stuff all works. Somehow. I'm just stunned beyond words that it's this painful, this complicated, this frustrating, this badly and misleadingly documented, and yet more patient people than I have worked through it.
It gives me such an immense respect for how simple Microsoft have made software development in complex and heterogeneous technologies (notwithstanding the pain of Xamarin / VS Code)

Sounds like you need to write this up in an article.

Hahaha, in fact, several things which he has mentioned are really important troubleshoot fix.
Definitely a good suggestion  and it would be really helpful if someone is having same hard times like him.
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

I didn't even bother trying this in Visual Studio, just installed Xamarin Studio on the Mac, coded, debugged, built and published the iOS and Android versions from there, much easier.. 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

If you ever want to write up your experience with creating provisioning profiles I'd name my dog after you.

As I remember, it didn't seem that tricky using Xcode?

It's such a bloody mess. Seriously. That whole experience is exactly what inspired me to write my blog post thanking Microsoft for just making things EASY, even though I know it comes across really fanboy-ish and I caught some flack for it. iOS and Android dev is just insanely frustrating in comparison.
