Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

So quite a few websites went offline yesterday due to bugs found in PHP LLMs 'found' the bugs (which were actually known about for decades but no one reached a consensus on how to fix it)
Once again, slop machines only work ‘well’ when you can externalise the pain and costs onto someone else (in this case, millions of stressed-out sysadmins and webmasters)
Seems like there also was one company who released their patch early before the agreed time giving hackers time reverse engineer the bug before patches were widly available.
yes, chainguard broke embargo, and within a few hours a reverse engineered PoC was kicking. I saw at least two implementations yesterday when assssing impending work
and I haven't slept yet (although now aaaalmost done...)
I saw a story they broke embargo so they could offer protection services to people. Which I really hope isnt true.
