None of that code in the tweet actually runs at login.

- justinsaccount 7y ago... 2 and a half years ago. Can you provide links to all software you have ever written so I can complain about bugs that existed in 2017?
- jlgaddis 7y agoI suppose I can, if you really want me to, but: 1.) no software I've ever written is installed and enabled, by default, on pretty much every Ubuntu instance created in the last ~2.5 years (whether the "owners" of those instances want it or not), 2.) I certainly never claimed to write 100% bug-free code (in fact, I will freely admit that I absolutely DO NOT write bug-free code!), and 3.) this discussion really isn't about me or any code that I have written. (If you're the one that wrote whatever caused the bug and my comment caused your feelings to get hurt, sorry, but software bugs are a fact of life.)
