Well your responses look like you don't care, as if you had any clue about my experience as well, unless the sightseeing from that high altitude cloud is giving mirages.

Any cybersecurity law that requires citzens votes for adoption, will certainly get my signature.

If running static analyzers, testing for memory leaks, running end to end tests which takes days, adding strong bounds checking, and failing fast and with great noise as soon as something does not look right is not caring, you’re right. I don’t care.

All this is done for a code which has no network access, no kernel level work, even doesn’t accept any input after parsing the input model and making sure that it’s well formed with no loose ends.

Imagine what I’d do if it does any kind of authentication or user affecting work.

Call me surprised. OK, fair enough.
