That too but more that I'm a software
That too but more that I'm a software dev and it's quite easy accidently write bugs in code. Like the KDE themes that deletes user files

I'm a software dev as well. My team has 3 backend engineers. Yesterday, I reviewed some new changes which were merged into the master branch already. I instantly spotted serious issues on them. That Pull Request was approved by a senior engineer.
The FOSS community needs to a deep reflection. Human makes mistake and overlooks things.
What sort of dev do you do?
I work on system backend mostly. Now using Go all the time. Sometimes I have to maintain a little bit on the deprecated PHP code written by someone else.
I also do mostly backend with SQL Server and C# which weirdly works really well on Linux 😂
C# has Mono which runs really well on Linux more than a decade ago. Better than on Windows.
But I don't know SQL Server that much because I don't use it in work. But today, many companies are using SaaS SQL Server. So it doesn't matter on what OS it is running on.
Yeah it's amazing how good the opensource community is at reverse engineering stuff 🙂
I guess there was involvement from Microsoft team. May be not officially.
But decompiling C# and Java executables were as easy as fuck.
But the toolchain wasn't the same story.
yeah the core of the C# CLI/CLR is written in C/C++ and assembly, which is not fun to reverse engineer. But yeah reverse engineering C# or Java code is trivial
Are you enjoying Go?
Yes, very much! I find jobs based on whether they use Go. I've been using it for years now.
