Thankfully none of my Java deps have turned my files into digital swiss cheese.... yet! What is it with some people wanting to "make the world a better place", but end up starting fires and making it worse. Is it just middle class western liberal arrogance manifesting through a software developer's actions? I don't want to make the world a better place, I just want to keep it from burning.
