Not if 1000 lines are written by you alone and not checked by anyone else vs 5 million lines of code written by thousands of people and checked by countless more. Linux is probably more secure than 1000 lines of C code from a junior developer.
- whiterknight 2y agoI think this is vastly overrated: - how much code actually gets read outside of top 2-3 projects? - how many of those readers can detect security problems? - why are others inherently better at detecting problems than the author? Wouldn’t 1000 lines read by 2 people be better than a million read by 10?
