Wo bekommt man den?

Ich hätte ein paar Denkmäler zu schützen.

As someone working in government IT, the entire sector is focused on compliance, not security. You can install the most obviously backdoored/unsafe device or software, as long as you have a paper trail that someone pinky promised that it’s secure. Absolutely bonkers.

In your case, if the manufacturer of devices has all the necessary certifications, nobody will even question the security.

Die historisch am tiefsten in den Staatsapparat vergrabene Partei, die die meiste Zeit sogar an der Regierung war, regt sich über den Deep State auf, kannst dir nicht ausdenken.

Merken die Flachpfeifen eigentlich wirklich nicht, dass sie gerade den Ast absägen auf dem wir alle sitzen?

I think we (as an industry) need to be honest to ourselves and admit that pretty much everything we’re building is temporary. And not in a philosophical sense. 90% of the code I wrote in my about 10 years of professional work is probably gone by now - sometimes replaced by myself. In another ten years, chances are not a single line of code will have survived.

No, line must go up!

So you’re saying, things getting less bad is not good news?

Cancer in remission is actually bad news, because it’s just shrinking, and not gone yet?

Inflation is supposed to be at about 2%. That’s the goal of the ecb. And if you look at a longer scale, that was met, because the decade preceding covid had hardly any inflation.

You just want to be pessimistic about everything.

You don’t understand inflation, do you?

Und wie viele Eltern glaubst du können das einrichten?

Und wie viele von denen die es können, wollen sich das Genöle ihrer Kinder anhören, weil die Emma und der Lukas schließlich auch auf tiktok sind?

Our legacy system always puts the label in the water and our clients rely on the faint cardboard flavor.

This is what’s happening in highly complex software over time. Every larger system has corners like this.

I’ve worked on a system that required that you send invalid XML, because some bloke 10 years ago didn’t know what he’s doing and hardcoded a certain structure.

Easy fix, but our clients relied in the old behavior, and nobody bothered fixing it.
