Celebrating Vappu by updating some servers. So that public holiday doesn't feel too different from a working day. https://cyberinsider.com/copy-fail-gives-root-access-to-all-linux-systems-via-732-byte-exploit/

Highly optimized code is of course extremely expensive to develop — both to build and maintain. But now even just-average-performance code is the more costly alternative.
And sure, grinding out a vibe-coded LLM horror so you can check that business box may leave you with code that’s not only especially buggy but RAM-hungry and CPU-hungry. And sure that’s expensive to deploy. But hey: your cloud spend is already preposterous, right? And high deployment costs are more predictable than high development costs…right?

Kind of sick of being asked to evaluate some vibe-coded UIs and then, when citing piles of errors, being dismissed because the next LLM release will fix it.

Perhaps the main difference between myself and vibe coders is that we have completely different backgrounds.
I've learned coding as a kid, with no friends and no Internet. I didn't do it because it was cool; nerdy stuff was the exact opposite of cool and was likely to get you bullied. I didn't do it because it promised good salary; as a 10-year old, I didn't ponder much about my future, let alone salary. I did it because I was bored, and it was something interesting to do.
I didn't do specific exercises, but rather created whatever I've found interesting. I wasn't graded, I had all the time in the world, and I've enjoyed solving problems. Even if I had access to the Internet, I doubt I would start looking for ready solutions and copy-pasting them. My code was always mine, and I was proud of it; at least at the time.
Of course, nowadays I do stuff I don't enjoy as well. But I'm a grown man who takes responsibility for what I do. And even if my code is shit, it is my shit, and 100% eco.
