xz-utils backdoor situation (CVE-2024-3094)

FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

Translation of grugbrain.dev into English

The not-too-clever programmer

This is a translation of grugbrain.dev into clear English. All props to the original author.

Introduction

This is a collection of thoughts on software development, originally written by an pseudonymous author styling themselves the "grug brain developer," but then translated into clear English by Raph Levien.

I am not an extremely smart developer, but I have many years of experience and have learned some things, although still don't know everything.
