i'm in this picture and i like it.

So, kids, what's the moral of the XZ story?

If you're going to backdoor something, make sure that your changes don't impact its performance. Nobody cares about security - but if your backdoor makes the thing half a second slower, some nerd is going to dig it up.

@glyph @eb I'm frustrated that big tech's efforts to increase core library security are "your project is too popular, you must use 2FA" and "the best reverse engineers in the world will find your bugs and put you on a 90 day disclosure deadline" and not "here is $100K/year and benefits to keep doing what you're doing at your own pace."

Imagine you’re writing a book and on page 345 you make a grammar error. The paragraph becomes completely ineligible, and the whole plotline you had going falls apart. Now the ink smears and whole pages turns black, and actually the book catches fire and you cannot touch it without it bursting into flames.

This is what programming is like.

"The Right to Repair movement seeks to make the repair of tech devices more accessible, affordable, and mainstream. Existing structures supported by the technology industry are often unsustainable in that they promote the purchase of new devices and disincentive their repair. This puts up barriers to the creation of a circular economy, which would help to reduce the enormous mass of e-waste disposed of every year."

If you give someone a program, you may frustrate them for a day.

If you teach someone how to program, you can frustrate them for a lifetime.
