- lukeschlather 13y agoIn other words, Government code is no different from anyone else's code.
- rdl 13y agoStuxnet is not actually "great code" from what I've read, it's just expensive and overkill use of 0-days (which you'd expect from a government with limitless money), and implemented in a fairly heavyweight/inefficient way.
- icelancer 13y agoIt was exceedingly redundant, resilient, and worked very well at the one thing it was meant to do and was only caught by sheer luck. So yeah, I am going to call that "great code."
