> What if a plumber is wealthy enough to retire but continues to work because they enjoy it. And what if they then offer a job for free, eg for a community centre or church. Are they then allowed to put an Easter egg in where the pipes explode on Christmas Day?
This is a bad example because in what you describe the plumber is making a malicious "easter egg".
- laumars 5y agoFair enough the motives are malicious but would any kind of Easter egg be tolerated? In secure software any kind of Easter egg can end up being a vulnerability (and all to often has become one).

- 0des 5y agoYou're editing and re-editing a lot of snark and aggression, consider that you might be a little too invested in this. Let it go! We are all nerds here, nobody has to be like this to each other.

- laumars 5y agoLiterally the only snark and aggressive comments being made are coming from yourself. I’m not going to stop chatting to other people on this subject because you’ve decided to troll me over a difference of opinion.
- vageli 5y agoSomething written on a pipe would be an easter egg, likely tolerated.
