The dependency of a whole industry on Chrome, and the fact a 18 year-old can create a WASM exploit for it with ease (which just might be the tip of the iceberg) is really, really scary.
- berkes 6y agoHow do you know about the 'with ease' part?
- tannhaeuser 6y agoWell the age sets an upper bound for the effort put into it, doesn't it?

At 26 I have twice the experience but only a third of the motivation and focus. When you're younger you do stuff just find out whether you can, when you're older you already know you could and decide not to do anything. It's exceedingly rare I'll find something interesting enough that'll keep me coding for 15 hours straight, at 18 that was the norm on pretty much every free day - of which there are a lot more when you're younger and not already working as a software dev. My money will always be on the 18 year olds.
