Relying on regexes instead of thoroughly tested parser AST's encourages vulnerabilities. Are they really scraping logs for credentials instead of using an API?

Analysis is fun, but any device with a microphone or camera represents a security risk for sensitive environments... Fropies.

Clean code in management's eyes is anything at all delivered COB whose customer-deleting latent bugs trigger six months after the author left to work elsewhere. But with 100% code coverage!

I supported an effort to standardize Markdown into an actual common syntax, instead of the nasty variation we see between GitHub, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Atlassian, etc. etc. This became CommonMark, which everyone ignores.

TDD's contribution to software quality scrapes the bottom of the barrel. Attention to detail in scalable design, formal verification, fuzzing, and mutation testing offer deeper guarantees of successful operation. But of course, the Ame

I've made that same mistake before. And not just in HTTP handlers. There is a case to be made for a linter rule that warns when a conditional evaluates an error value, without presenting a return path.

Rust is good enough for HFT, Web rendering, and the Linux kernel but go ahead and add Carbon to the massive list of been-there-done-that. Pro tip: Don't try to migrate an entire catalog of functions all at once to Rust (or pick your fa

I can't even tell you how much political capital I lost at a major retailer recommending against wasting time implementing soft deletions... on an internal portal that babysat linter configurations. Don't ask me why the linter con

The natural course of war tends toward a future where polities own, but do not operate, fully autonomous weapons. There will come a day when even the targets, be they military or civilian, are selected and attacked solely by machines. The h

Reuse the session across applications. Min 24 hour expiration. The more times the user is forced to reauth, the higher the chances of a keylogger or over the shoulder attack successfully retrieving passwords. Also, more time is spent relogg
