Microsoft said it's working on an accelerated schedule to roll out a patch. To be on the safe side, don't send, accept, or read any email until it's fixed

Hey,
Let me spell out something out for you in plain English.
I've waited quite a while to make sure this post is more private. Due to the age of the post hopefully only a few members will see it. Only moderators and 'tagged members' temporarily.
You can't have book authors claiming credit for over decade old netsec tools.

What hurts codeproject more? Truth or false claims?
Metasploit is used in nearly every university on planet Earth. Call your local university and ask.
Can't have claimed authorship of code millions of students are using. Call your local university, the tool has been part of the curriculum for nearly 10 years.

I am so clueless as Rick.
BTW you summoned Kent wrongly, you missed the (-).
@kent-sharkey you were mentioned above.

Unit, integration, and end-to-end testing creates a better user experience and are necessary for quality assurance for applications of all sizes. Did I miss when it wasn't?

Yes, because it never was, never is, and never will be.

Then who, but a developer, writes a unit test? I'm not saying it should be the same as who wrote the code, ideally it is one who challenges yours. You need to find someone who really hates you to write the most effective unit-tests.
For acceptance tests, you need your public. Same goes for accessibility, something built in to Win31, but gone since WPF. There was this light scheme built into Windows, which changes all to black/yellow. Of course, the WPF designers know better.
Different tests require different people. It requires a host to do them all.

The rise of low-code could soon see it topple more "traditional" forms of operations, new research has claimed. "Could" Sure, let's go with "could"

Quote: Mendix's 2022 State of Low-Code found a rise in low-code adoption from 77% in 2021 to 94% this year
Quote: Mendix is the fastest & easiest low-code platform used by businesses to develop mobile & web apps at scale. Does it not occur to the writers of Tech Radar that a company in the business low-code platforms citing the adoption of low code is, well, just plain stupid wrong self-serving etc.?

It does encroach in the development teams, I am seeing it rising faster and faster in my environment, it just shifts a bit the professions involved and thats from my perspective a good thing.
As of today the software development team in my organization is made of a single computer engineer, a control engineer and an electronic engineer, plus a programmer-actually-system-architect. Untile 2020 there were 3 computer engineers and neither the control and electronic engineer had anything to do with development.
Whty do I believe it is a good thing? First, it allows for much better software engineers to be kept and helps to weed out the "codez-please" and "ooh-shiny-new-stuff" programmers from the team, reducing technical debt. But much more than that it allows the domain expert to exert their full competence and knowledge on what's ultimately the core of the product. This helps, since developing a control algorithm for an engine that applies two space coordinate substitutions to compute two currents that have to drive six mosfets in three complementary couples all the while avoliding short circuits, managing measurements errors, keeping wasted power low and reducing mechanical vibrations inherent from the control algorithm is quite a daunting task for any "pure" software developer.
On the other side of the spectrum, managing a SoC devices and memory, writing the low level drivers and merging the low-code platform with the real world is a daunting task for any domain expert.
TL;DR: yes it is taking over some of the developers jobs, which means that there is less need of pure developers and more need of domain experts and operating system experts. Such is life, mechanization killed the jobs of many menial laborers and increased the jobs for line supervisors and technicians.

At Google, one of the technical practices that I thought was both essential and very well done was the “post-mortem”– whenever they hit a significant problem, after putting out the fires and getting everything running again, they’d get the engineers closest to the problem to spend a day or two investigating the root cause of the issue and writing up their findings for everyone to read. Better than autopsying the developers

But it could be better than autopsying some managers / executives...
Edit: I just realized that my joke was not written correctly

Internet snoops have been caught concealing spyware in an old Windows logo in an attack on governments in the Middle East. Beware of hackers bearing logos
I mean, nothing really to fear here, but dang I find this clever:
"Witchetty first compromises a network, getting into one or more systems, then downloads this image from, say, a repository on GitHub, unpacks the spyware within it, and runs it."
Better than carrying around a USB key, I suppose?

The HTTP Archive has published most of its 2022 web technology report, called the Web Almanac, based on a survey of over 8 million websites. Among its conclusions are that “WebAssembly isn’t widely used, and rather than seeing a growth in usage, we are seeing a modest contraction.” Hype? Our industry NEVER hypes stuff!
