- bigiain 14y agoAhhh yes - we all start out with the best of intentions, but I still somehow occasionally end up with what _I_ thought was prototype/demo code out there in production. (I'm much more careful these days about either writing properly secured "demo code", or at least hard-coding non-routable ip addresses into it - with comments pointing out the lack of security right where someone would need to be looking to change those hard-coded addresses…)
