I too feel an innocence has been lost in software and the internet. It's a shame that things can't be so whimsical, but it is also good that serious software is taken more and more serious.
I think this is the right decision by curl and I support it.
- cogman10 5y agoI'd say I think it depends on the software, but agree with your assessment. Curl is just perched at a position where an easter egg introducing a vulnerability would be disastrous. I feel the same about OpenSSL or the kernel. Software that is highly security sensitive shouldn't have easter eggs. On the flip side, I'm fine with grep or yes having an easter egg or two. It's hard to imagine using them in such a fashion where that'd create a security risk.
