In the following, replace:
- "school/education system" with "open source"
- "Western-style" with "supply chain security"
- "Developing countries" with "indie devs" or "FOSS developers"
- "richer nations" with "corporations/big tech"
...and see where we're at in #OpenSource…

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.

Just attended @… 's #SotB2024 event online. Very informative.
The topics discussed were:
* how to fund browser development ( presented by @…

The Safari browser is probably the world's most secure browser today, with Google Chrome lagging far behind.
How to get rid of breakpoints in your CSS with https://utopia.fyi/
Google Chrome fixes known bugs faster than Apple's Safari.
... but the bugs that Google Chrome fixes tend to be non-critical, although things are improving.

It is a long time ago that I saw this error. There must be an Amiga Fan as developer for VirtualBox ;)

It warms my heart any time I find something like this in other people's code. 😀 Been there. Frequently.
