    Slopper companies like MS, Google, and Spotify are all having massive vulnerabilities. I wonder why.

        I genuinely wonder if rust helps guarding against slop coding vulnerabilities, at least statistically.

          the compiler stops you from compiling most of incorrect code. unless AI learns to use unsafe blocks liberally, it will still prevent memory corruption bugs and such

      It sounds like they’ve gotten fat, rich, and complacent. Just like some societies I know!

      Vibe coding. Overuse of H-1B visas. Microsoft specifically seems to rely a lot on foreign workers because a lot of them will do whatever their employer asks without question because their employer has a lot of control over whether they are even allowed in the US. Even if they are natural citizens it seems a lot of them don’t have the same privileges & a bad review by an employer has more potential to ruin their career. Also, the caste system exists here even in the US.

        Overuse of H-1B visas.

        It’s literally a system of indentured servitude and corpos are just free to abuse it with impunity.
