In the end, they both end up learning effectively the same lesson

I tend to think people shit on Musk more than they should, but holy shit does it bug me when a CEO talks about engineering problems with such bravado.

That’s… why we want the labels?

This is one of the things I talk about when people ask what the difference is between junior and senior developers.

A lot of security is just box-checking. A lot of it is hypothetical and relies on attackers exploiting a chain of multiple bugs that they probably won’t ever find…. But you still gotta fix it.

There’s no point in being so proud of your code and dismissing security concerns because you’re arrogant enough to think it can’t happen to you. Just learn to fix it and move on with your life.

Poor statement of her mission. IIRC Janeway says pretty clearly in one of the first episodes that they're still going to carry out their duty as a Starfleet ship to seek out new life and new civilizations, boldly go, etc. That's their mission, and getting home is an important part but not all of it.

• Installs antivirus on servers that wrecks application performance
• installs content filtering proxy that prevents developers from reading “hacking materials” like OWASP documentation
• won’t let developers install anything on their own machines without filing a ticket and waiting 6 weeks
• pushes unannounced antivirus updates that pop up OS security dialogs like “Netscan Antivirus would like to monitor all network traffic. Enter your password to approve”, and is surprised when users don’t enter their passwords.

Y’all gonna regret this when Ron DeSantis gets put in charge of deciding which information is false enough to be deleted.

4 years later: "this button is the wrong color. fix it ASAP"

console.log counts as “a debugger”, right?
