Reddit became the best place to find technical informations. 99% of Google results are LLM generated drivel that never gets to the point and repeats other LLM generated drivel.

Threat actors known as 'Stargazer Goblin' have created a malware Distribution-as-a-Service (DaaS) from over 3,000 fake accounts on GitHub that push information-stealing malware. At least they're using version control

You can access data from deleted forks, deleted repositories and even private repositories on GitHub. And it is available forever. This is known by GitHub, and intentionally designed that way. Sharing is caring, and they really care (Forking heck!)

Your software is hurt by toxic personalities on your team. Smart jerks aren't worth it. Let's dispel the myth. Stick with the dumb jerks. There's plenty of them

Should we have refinement meetings where we just point the people directly instead of the stories?
It sounds ridiculous on its face but I think I might actually be swayed to such a thing being good.
Skip the rigamarole and get straight to the island voting so people can sooner discover their better islands. Life is short.

Security awareness company KnowBe4 noticed something was fishy when the employee's company-issued Mac began loading malware. Did they at least stop other hackers from getting into networks?
Started by a (supposedly ex-)hacker, hiring hackers. Profit!

I do wonder... would they have discovered it, if he had typed the malware directly in the company network instead of uploading it?

I don’t actually think predictability is a good thing in software engineering. Insert a "Well, technically..." blurb here while pushing up my glasses
aka "If the code you write could be automated, shouldn't it be?"

If you don't need to do something totally new, predictability can be perfectly acceptable in many contexts. Overengineering something might be as much dangerous as many other things.
Why do you need to re-invent the wheel? Better invest your time in inventing a new motor to move it more efficiently

As junk web pages written by AI proliferate, the models that rely on that data will suffer. So, like the regular AI then?
I'm glad someone actually went out and studied it, but isn't this kind of a big duh?

CrowdStrike is making improvements to error handling and software rollouts. "It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools"
Looks like it's another CrowdStrike-themed newsletter

Why don't they just rename it ClownStrike and be done with it?
