Even better quote, I love using this one.
“So, with AI writing code for us, all we need is an unambiguous way to define, what all our business requirements are for the software, what all the edge cases are, and how it should handle them.”
“We in the industry call that ‘code.’”
Yeah, you need a way to specify what you want with a high degree of both flexibility and specificity. We have a term for that in the industry, it’s called “writing code”.
The XZ exploit was found because some dude was investigating performance issues in a system, and noticed an unusual amount of time being spent in SSH processing, IIRC.
I’ll take this over the more “classic” styles, when people seed to believe they were paying the compiler by the character.

The article discusses this, a bit. One of the other platforms is considering an enhancement to require request signatures on non-ActivityPub APIs, I.E. Meta can make unsigned requests, where the server doesn’t know who they’re from, but only get minimal (or no) data back, or Meta can make signed requests, and instance owners get to decide what data (if any) they’re okay with sharing to Meta, based on Meta’s privacy policies. Beyond API’s, you’re talking about web scraping, which is something the industry has been handling for decades.

That’s my best guess, in the sense that that’s what the compiler ends up producing, for templated code: the same code copy-pasted for however many different use cases you have.
I think templates is what he’s making fun of.
The last time this happened to me, and then I retried in a browser, I found the image was being rejected due to a size limit. Jerboa just doesn’t handle the error properly.
I mean, I’m paraphrasing, too.
