Just polled my software team: without googling or asking, have you heard of #copyfail ? if so, do you know what it is sufficiently to explain it to a colleague?
Not a single hand. We make embedded #linux devices. ( yes, ours are affected.)
Call me old fashioned, but when I was a #developer I _kept tabs on shit_. First coffee every morning was pouring over #slashdot and #thedailywtf and a dozen tech specific #blogs and #newsgroups and #channels. Whats new, or blowing up?
