  "Breaking Claude Code Opus 5 Auto Mode": https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2026/breaking-claude-code-opus-5-and-automode/ These products were never developed w/ security in mind to start. Bolting on security as an afterthought won't work. We have decades of infosec experience to show us this will be abject failure. Every time I read one of these articles I have to imagine these researchers cackling on the inside because they are just replaying the good oldies and staring at t...

  The UB Annex and IFNDR Annex has landed in the C++ draft standard. You see them live here: https://eel.is/c++draft/ub And here: https://eel.is/c++draft/ifndr The annexes are now part of the process, so any additions or removals of UB or IFNDR cases will be added or removed from each annex as the paper lands. Read, learn, pass it on. #cplusplus

  "I discovered a large-scale malware distribution campaign on GitHub": https://orchidfiles.com/github-repositories-distributing-malware/ We know LLM poisoning is a real threat but we can see that the vendors we must rely on to defend us can't even muster the will to tackle obvious tier 1 security issues that researchers hand them details to on a platter. We are so toast, they are going to be completely useless against sophisticated actors really out to get you. #ai

  @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I want to one of the NYC technical high schools and going back for reunions is very eye opening. You have some of what were the brightest tech kids in NYC and most of them are doing ok but they are mostly middle class working very hard. I feel like reading "Fooled by Randomness" was such an revelatory book for me. Realizing that probably most big success is actually just luck. When he figured out that by including all the failed portfolio managers in th...

  "Comprehension Debt - the hidden cost of AI generated code.": https://addyosmani.com/blog/comprehension-debt/ This piece identifies a lot of the problems but is way too optimistic that specification can solve a lot of these issues. The bottleneck is code review and you can not skimp on that. Specification can not replace code review that are not equivalent. #ai

  LOL https://www.forbes.com/sites/annatong/2026/03/05/cursor-goes-to-war-for-ai-coding-dominance/ No wonder they have to raise prices. Even if they could bring it down by an order of magnitude the cost makes no sense. #ai

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@beyondmachines1/116387660407026805 This is really rubber ducking and it should serve as a reminder that there is a lot of history and a lot of writing about good software development practices that we are leaving on the floor b/c we have a bright new shiny object to play with. Big Balls of Mud should be something else people should remind themselves of.
