At least at large orgs there's hopefully someone able to measure it. The smaller you go it's silos all the way down.

Just install a Russian locale on your computer to prevent malicious programs even starting and get on with your day because it's the truth.

Snowden is a free man in 2026 despite the United States of America very much wanting to put him in jail.

It's the least surprising thing once you've put yourself out there, very strange watching people here think it's novel, I expect it by default at this point, a stranger handing you code needs to go into a vm, would you let them hand you some candy with a wink too?

In the end it can just be a culture thing. A dev who was going to write docs and tests before is going to have a LLM generate docs and tests today. Same with safe practices and defensive coding. The machine does whatever you want from it, for most that's "just get the job done I don't care". So that's the output.

After downloading a service manual and doing many things myself it became very apparent that mechanics barely bother to do work the right way despite it coming at virtually zero extra effort.

It's quite rare to see them use a torque wrench on many bolts and if you ask them why "they know it by feel", cool, but why not use a torque wrench to the proper specs anyway? It's not any harder.

Why shouldn't they? You're commenting on a website where the common if not overwhelming view is that people should move jobs every 2 years or they are going to lose out.

Uptime, self healing, reproducibility, separating the system from app. There's probably a half dozen more.

K8s comes with resource consumption tax certainly but for anything beyond the trivial it's usually justified.

> Separate VM's for different apps works well for isolation

Sounds inefficient along with a lot more work doing the plumbing than simply writing a 100 lines of yaml.

HIPAA is self-certifying, SOC2 isn't.

No way on earth you are getting SOC2 without an auditor.

Hits different doesn't it

It's an incredibly exciting time in security research in my humble old man opinion.

Think the cadence of new exploits is perhaps a good measure of that rather than subjective thoughts by anyone regardless of experience.

Did you mean 100 billion tokens because 100k isn't a big deal at all?

Camels are cool still.

This is a guy with 10+ years experience as a dev. It was a watershed moment for me, many people really have stopped thinking for themselves.

The way humans are depicted in Wall-E springs to mind as being quite prescient, it wasn't meant to be a doco

Only around 10% of the US military is in combat roles.

You're getting clicks, they're going to the moon and there's a lot of people on Earth who would happily take any tradeoff for that.

This was 6-8x the size all the existing trades on market combined, with zero other publicly available information early on a Monday morning 15 mins before an announcement that significantly moved the market.

Not even the biggest hedge funds in the world with coked up yolo traders go make 1.5 billion dollar bets like that, it simply doesn't happen.

It's egregious and blatant insider trading. The position got closed not long after the news came out.

The Pentagon, much like everyone else, will only want to use the best model available though.
