I saw a meme a couple of years ago:
Frame 1: Aliens are viewing Earth society during the reign of Egyptian Pharos and hieroglyphics. Their comment is "no written language, we'll give them more time to advance."
Frame 2: Aliens are viewing the Earth today and see all the emojis. There comment is "no written language, we'll give them more time to advance."

A new “State of software security” report says application code is “drowning in debt”, where debt is defined as flaws that remain for longer than a year, and that AI-generated code is no more secure than that written by humans – but it adds that AI trained on common software weaknesses (CWEs) can accelerate code fixes. Time for Raft#
"The worst, by some measures, is Visual Basic 6 (VB6) – long deprecated by Microsoft but still running business-critical applications. " <-- the gift that keeps on giving!
I was considering going with "One - Something's got to give", but decided that was too many degrees of separation.

Having written in VB6 I know you could write secure code in it. However, many of the ActiveX controls were about as insecure as they came. Even Microsoft's ActiveX controls were riddled with security issues.

More evidence that Microsoft needs to force third parties out of the Windows kernel. Notice that Hyper-V never suffered from these types of issues. It's because Microsoft vetted every single kernel driver before allowing it onto a Hyper-V server.

Some ChatGPT users said they’d use ChatGPT less if it included watermarks. In related news: speedometers removed from cars because drivers might speed
|
|
|
|

That was actually a thing here in the States in the 1980's. The gov't made a regulation that car speedometers could only go up to 85 MPH, because that would remove the temptation to speed. I kid you not.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The Trust Score is a way to determine how well-trained a developer is to write secure code, and their work can be compared to a benchmark. If you can't get AI to write your code, get AI to mark your code

The C++ language has two large categories of “don’t do that” known as undefined behavior and ill-formed program. What’s the difference? If you wrote it, or if someone else wrote it?

Stack Overflow has published its 2024 developer survey, showing little change in programming language popularity despite calls for a move away from unsafe languages. But all the articles said everyone was switching? Would they lie?
