Much less expensive too. I think in general that expectation is NOT acceptable though especially around data loss. Because the non engineering stakeholders don't believe it is. Engineers don't make decisions in a vacuum, if you ca

With the caveat that GPUs depreciate a bit faster obviously. A drill is still a drill next year or a decade from now.

So you're expecting to see every product affected by this to go and do a big mea culpa because one of their dependencies broke? Like how xz was attacked, everyone pointed at that and no one said they didn't vet their dependencies.

That's what a package is supposed to solve, no? Sure there are packages trying to solve 'the world' and as a result come with a whole lot of dependencies, but isn't that on whoever installs it to check? My point was that

Is that realistic though? What you're proposing is letting go of abstractions completely. Say you need compression, you're going to review changes in the compression code? What about encryption, a networking library, what about t

If the caller puts it in the query string and you log that? It doesn't have to be valid in your application to make an attacker pass it in. So unless you're not logging your request path/query string you're doing somethi

In almost all cases you lack the area for doing that. And that's not even considering exposure, as in winter most north facing panels on a roof won't get any direct sun because it's lower on the horizon

There's 2 ways you can get to working software 1. Professional software engineers that can listen to learn about the problem space and are willing to come to understand that. This takes humility. 2. The people experiencing the problem.

Assuming your PM is for product manager not project manager. I would think the engineers usually get their kick out of making things fast or easy to maintain. If you have a product manager and the customers hate the product, how is that the

That general incompetency you're referring to there can also be worded as For years they didn't build unneeded complexity. And it sounds like for many more years to come. So they're just efficient. Any developer will have had

0.6% of monthly inflation wouldn't be 7.2% you can't multiply like that. So the real number would be 1.006^12=7.44% And over 7% inflation is a bit more than 'pretty high' that's getting really scary if there's
