Re: It's time to start over

"Starting over" will just mean writing the whole bug bonanza again, maybe with a slight step up.

"The industry" is in permanent de-skilled mode. It grows too fast, the teaching is atrocious, the old hands get out, the new hands need a long time to catch up, which is generally not worth the effort because it wrecks your life.

Hell, it's 2018 and hidebound don't-know-any-better can't change, won't change coal face workers are still writing in C and derived Antikythera Languages, designed "for portability" when "computer" was a PDP-10 with a single CPU and maybe a serial interface.

Also a "Bleichenbacher Attack" sounds like something from the Atrocity Archives. Just add nether dimensions.
