I think people already knew how to write good quality code even in the 80s, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Large-Scale-Software-Design-John-Lako...

The post is right in that the example code is terrible, Uncle Bob's changes make it much worse, but also the suggested fix is also bad. I think this is better, but the whole thing is silly. Obviously you'd want to write a comment

How many other classes of such bugs exist. Without a public COE one can't know that it was systemically fixed. One can't know whether security boundaries were by-passed by the bug. One can't know what sorts of extra protectio

What are the chances this is the first such attack, not just the first one discovered. Presumably every library or service running as root is open to attack and maybe also some running in userspace. The attack surface is massive. Time for b

I like the idea of smalltalk, but it suffers from a modularity problem. As I understand it classes just use other classes in the image and it is very difficult to track dependencies. It is a topic revisited often in the Pharo community. Str
