In life in general, I’ve found people who arrive for the wrong reasons typically make a short stay before moving on.

Don’t worry, when you graduate it gets more isolating.

Portability, abstraction and inheritance are fundamental concepts, not buzzwords. Strongly typed languages can and does have all of these things.

At least we can all agree about something.

Meanwhile Africans look at American school lunches and warn their kids to eat their veggies because the poor kids in america don’t have that luxury.

Post 2008 crash grad who eventually made it into engineering. I didnt realize this world existed so recently. I’ve never had less than three interviews for any job other than receptionist.

You have no idea how many of my closest friends have been to jail for drugs. I think that is a problem with the system, but im not going to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and act like we were being upstanding citizens.

Getting people addicted to things is bad. It doesn’t matter if you are a drug dealer, a casino, or a social media app.

A lot of drugs are very addictive and ruin people’s lives. I’m well aware a lot of lives were ruined by the stigma attached to to drugs, but to swing from they are evil criminal people to just equating drug dealing with every other job is insane to me.

You know its bad when dude casually drops that he’s a drug dealer and we all collectively shrug, like yeah sounds about right.

Have you considered maybe purchasing the app? It would fix at least one of your issues.

I’m not a shill, I just remember the guy pitching the app on reddit, and it seemed like a super small team trying to compete with massive companies.

I’ve had a good enough experience with lynx that I gave it it’s own alias. Now anytime I want to search i just “ddg anything” and usually I can find the result in want without leaving the terminal.

I’m sure there are other great uses but that’s all I use it for and I love it.

I mean, I’m pretty sure this is extremely widespread in China, so I’d say it’s more cultural than anything else. In fact, since there are so many Chinese, that probably means more people call it A.P.P. than app. But I honestly have no clue, and it doesn’t matter to me either way. Words change. It’s nothing to get bent out of shape about.

Its the iphones fault.

I feel the pain in your comment.

I too have been burned by “cross-platform” tooling. What I’ve learned is the more complex your project is, the less likely it is to have simple cross compliation.

But with that huge caveat, I’ll say I’ve had a better time doing cross comp on dotnet than I have rust. Either of them are infinitely better than learning cmake though. That’s definitely just my amateur take though. I’m sure smarter people will tell you I’m wrong.

Its basically a requirement for the OSEP cert put out by offsec so there are a fair amount of cybersec guys who at least piddle with it if you are looking for some projects or a community hopefully that is a good start.

1000% percent. If they can’t even figure out how dates work in COBOL we are getting a vibe coded SSA. Let’s hope they trained LLMs on COBOL or we are cooked.

Pen Tester here. While i don’t focus on LLMs, it would be trivial in the right AI designed app. In a tool-assist app without a human in the loop as simple as adding to any input field.

&& [whatever command you want]] ;

If you wanted to poison the actual training set in sure it would be trivial, but It might take awhile to gain some respect to get a PR accepted, but we only caught an upstream attack on ssh due to some guy who feels the milliseconds of a ssh login sessions. Given how new the field is, i don’t think we have developed strong enough autism to catch this kind thing like in SSH.

Unless vibe coders are specifically prompting chatgpt for input sanitization, validation, and secure coding practices then a large portion of design patterns these LLMs spit out are also vulnerable.

Really the whole tech field is just a nightmare waiting to happen though.

Which faang company are you sr. engineer at?
