As a quick follow up, one of the things I found surprising were that some of these bugs could have resulted in DOS for some significantly important systems, and that the code was written by some of the smartest people I have ever worked with. If these people were unable to write secure C++, it really made me question whether anyone could reliably do it in a business environment.
- microcolonel 10y agoI think good code and a business environment just don't go hand-in-hand. I work for a company where one of our core values is writing clean code. We have fired clients who compromise too much on quality. But despite this, corners are always cut when there's an arbitrary deadline; and in enterprise, there is always an arbitrary deadline.
