Fuck me, ten years already?
Thinking the same thing. WTF
I wouldn’t say quite the same root cause — the xz back door was clearly intentional, but I don’t recall the Heartbleed bug having been intentional, and developer responsible has denied allegations to that effect. There can be no doubt in the xz case of malicious intent.
Hear me out. What if instead we just included a respected developers open-source project into our multi billion dollar product, paid them nothing, and gave them the pressure of ensuring it's working for millions of users at the threat of their reputation until their mental health is in shambles? 🤔
