LOL, hearing that the first "search" results for the most popular AI coding engines are malware. (both organic search and the hidden "sponsored search" results). Quite the security kerfuffle at work over this. 🙄 #ai #vibecoding #cybersecurity

"cut and paste this into your command line" from random websites ALWAYS goes well. /s #cybersecurity

@Viss Yeah, this is why I manually install any Linux projects instead of that if I can, I don't trust anyone's shell script to be clean!!

@Viss @ai6yr you both have formal training in CS/coding right? Don't they cover best practices or is reality at most companies just get it done quick security problems are overblown?

@CliffsEsport @ai6yr ehm. i took pascal and borland c++ in highschool, but dropped out of college outright when they changed that shit to msvc++. went straight into sysadmin. taught myself perl on the job, then bash, then python. i have no official formal dev training and i dont call myself a dev. im ok in bash but python i always need a crutch and im barely functional

@CliffsEsport @ai6yr also, "best practices" is corpospeak for 'i dont actually know the answer so i copied my classmates homework', so its prolly not the actual best way to do stuff

@Viss @CliffsEsport LOL most schools don't cover best practices, that's way too practical.... Not sure on the state of the art, but traditionally, lots of theory and things like algorithms, etc. and precious little practical knowledge. For awhile everyone was only learning Java in school (which was terrible). Not sure what the language of the moment is....

@ai6yr @Viss yeah I am old enough we breadboarded logic gates in HS Electronics class. But only one buddy was in Electronics and Computer class both with me, back in BASIC era

@CliffsEsport @Viss LOL my first programming class was in BASIC, and I failed it totally (because the teacher I think), and I think I was even told I should not go into software. (I was a mere early middle school student). 🤪

@ai6yr @Viss IME it is almost always teachers that are holding students back ether directly or indirectly. And I am not saying that just to validate you. As objective about it as I can manage.
