Humm ...
I looked for the fun if no one spotted in any comment that there was a creepy feature the author likes.
Periodic automated arbitrary code execution from a remote source.
Here is a list of the stupid ideas that old coders warned from
- abritrary remote code execution [X] this, curl|bash
- too much dependencies [X] npm
- lack of specifications, staging [X] Agile
- non deterministic HW [X] Intel
- non deterministic software [X] llvm/gcc/AI
- Single point of failure [X] github/CA
- attack by majority on P2P [X] blockchain, bitcoin
- bigger sloc is more bugs [X] heavy frameworks
- using immature technologies [X] haskell
- bloatwares [X] angular
- private corp standardizing [X] QUIC & al, browser wars
- beware of information entropy [X] big data
- moving parts [X] the Cloud
- higher surface of vulnerability [X] IoT
- monopolies [X] google
- using private cie for infra [X] github is the new sourceforge
- putting half backed std in prod [X] IPv6
- lack of consistency [X] most nosql tech
- legal risk due to IP law [X] coding by copy/pasting
If I was an old coder still coding I would say we are very close to a singularity : the total lack of trust that could result in all this is simply customers reverting to fax, teletypes, snail mail... or going to court to ask for financial compensations.
