Shit like this makes me think it’s time we start regulating the software engineering discipline into formal certifications and licensing and then we ONLY take seriously any code developed by someone with such qualifications, and they must be very strict qualifications none of this self-taught bootcamp BS.

There is no other solution to agentic onslaught.

lol no...the main issue here is being fooled by bots. you know your irl friends and you know they are not bots...devs will just need to get out more and actually meet / get to know the people they are working with...........omg....that...that actually sounds even worse now that i say it out loud.

We should not gate keep writing software

	▲	0xbadcafebee 3 hours ago \| parent [-]
		Anyone can write software, you can't stop them. What we can gatekeep is the building, distribution, installation, and running of software that affects critical systems, like one of the most popular OSes. The XZ backdoor affected millions of computers, with the potential to effect hundreds of millions of computers, many of which had the capacity to affect billions of people. From one completely unregulated software library.
