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.

Overuse of H-1B visas.

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

Obviously the problem is that office was not written in a safe language. rewrite office in rust!

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
