C.<p>I've been in the software field for some time. Many - perhaps most - of the software and systems engineers that I've worked with have had an interest in system security, or at least in not introducing obvious security holes into what they were building.</p><p>This was a good thing.</p><p>But somewhere along the way, this kind of thing got normalized. We've taught a new cadre of programmers that security doesn't matter if it slows you down or inconveniences you in the slightest way. No one should ever be doing this, with the possible exception of the script you're fetching being one you wrote yourself, and even then I wouldn't trust that it hadn't been tampered with.</p><p>As a result, I'm really not surprised at the level of (in)security in deployed systems these days.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OldManYellsAtCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldManYellsAtCloud</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>software</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>engineering</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SoftwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OldMan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldMan</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/programmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programmer</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a></p>
