These can go undetected. Imagine

1. Hacker dumps database with your username & password in it 2. Brute-forces the database offline 3. Logs in as you / Sells it to 3rd party that logs in as you

A lot of time can pass between these steps. Changing your password is a mitigation against this scenario.

I've been using focusmate.com for a few weeks now. You make an appointment to pair with another random user for a 50 minute work session. You just say hi and get to work each on your own thing. It's not dev-specific so it's kind of pointless to get into what you're working on. But just having an appointment and saying hi to someone has helped me do more than I expected.
