Are you not concern about many security issue with showing production code?
- AlexanderZ 14y agoShowing one controller action or model method will not compromise your application security. I'm not saying people should put their application to github, just asking them to use real examples in their articles (like I did with MessagesController#create)
- rartichoke 14y agoI wouldn't be. Some of the most secure software in the world is fully open source. Having millions of eyeballs looking and touching your code is a lot more secure than having 5 ego-driven devs who think they know security.
- eru 14y agoIn security circles Kerckhoff's principle is usually accepted. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerckhoffss_principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerckhoffss_principle) It essentially says, that security by obscurity is a bad idea.
