Another PVS Studio advert
- franzb 12y agoWho cares. It's finding and reporting genuine bugs in widely used open source libraries, and most of the times it's even suggesting a fix or a workaround. Think about it: each article is worth half a dozen to a dozen high quality bug reports. Moreover, the guys behind PVS-Studio seem like great guys. The CTO, Andrey Karpov, was interviewed in early 2014: http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0231/ http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0231/. Selling software development tools isn't easy. PVS-Studio "adverts" are interesting and useful to the community.
- tokenrove 12y agoI actually really enjoy these articles. Seeing real pitfalls and thinking about how to correct them is useful, as well as a reminder about how bugs lurk everywhere. "The Last Line Effect" in particular will stick with me forever. (The title in this case should have been less link-baity, though. I almost didn't even click on it, til I saw the URL.)
