Some serious diamond astroturfing going on in here. I've never seen anything so obviously stupid defended so thoroughly on HN. > Still, if you can get by without the investment, good for you. I think you might be a little confused a

Will 2.1 actually be usable? It seems like 2.0 has missed that mark in every single release.

Again, just my personal opinion, but I believe they should be seen as 'tainted' and a potential threat to any employer, forever. If we started ostracizing only long-term hires, the NSA would just have more motivation to 'turn

In my personal opinion, that's just something that will have to happen before engineers start taking the subject seriously. If a year or two of NSA interns have to learn the hard way that they'll never find employment anywhere els
