Collapse of national security elites' cyber firm leaves bitter wake
IronNet, a cybersecurity startup, had promised it would combat hackers using a unique blend of expertise and software. Helmed by a former director of the National Security Agency, the firm went public in 2021, and its value shot past $3 billion. Then it collapsed. The firm declared bankruptcy last year, leaving behind a trail of bitter investors and former employees who remain angry at the company and say it misled them about its financial health and potential.

Unpopular opinion on software development
Yesterday, I came across CI cultists.
They were preaching one should merge in main multiple times a day.
Quite frankly, I associate this behaviour to lab rats compulsively clicking the button to get gratifications (please don't do that to rats).
I think developers should refrain from becoming merge junkies. Code review is essential for good code quality. Automated tests suck at detecting logical errors, security vulnerabilities, and even decent code coverage.
Also, I believe pair programming is absolutely not a strategy to allow continuous integration. Everybody involved in the development process is drunk on their own bullshit reasons they made up to justify their poor design. Either the code review should be done by someone else, or the developers should sober up for a fortnight before code reviewing their own code.
PS: I am a software developer. I get drunk on my own bullshit as well.

Un mio pensiero sul problema che ha bloccato per un po’ mezzo mondo.
C’è chi parla di un problema di Windows e chi del software CrowdStrike.
Evento:
Un aggiornamento silente di CrowdStrike ha aggiunto un driver in Windows che va in blocco, essendo un driver con privilegi di alto livello viene caricato nel bootstrap di Windows e fino a quando non si rimuove il driver la situazione rimane bloccata in una schermata blu anche dopo il riavvio.
Una vera e propria follia!
