  • Hacker News
  • That's what happens when you vibe code.
  • so s/bookworm/trixie/g didn't work then?

    Yes, this is mostly a joke, I am able to understand the difference between base distros.

  • I don't understand the 'custom patch' strategy over 'fix the app with a major version change' strategy.
  • Why is the Node ecosystem like this? Why do people continue to choose it for popular projects vs. anything else?
  • I'm convinced you can tackle 5-10 "CVEs" a day, make a little dashboard, put some pretty graphs on it, and send it to your exec team and probably get accolades. Nevermind that the CVEs had nothing to do with your product.
  • If you're not a security person, the unspoken subtext here: the overwhelming majority of these "CVEs" do not matter to the project, and a very large number of them don't matter at all. They're pro-forma findings, like ReDOS in code paths that are rarely used, or, even more commonly, "prototype pollution" issues.
  • For those unfamiliar, “CVE” stands for “CV Enrichment”, common slang in Posture Engineering
  • Pretty impressive to introduce 1400 CVEs in a project that's only ~7 months old.
