Researchers have checked 64,000+ GitHub projects, and found 117 vulnerabilities introduced through the use of code from popular programming tutorials.

Well, if we had UBI, all code could be open, and I'd even consider the MIT and BSD licenses.

Yes let's have a Basic Income modeled after the charmed life of Dick Bathroom Stall-Man. If the unwashed Leader of the Free Software World deserves 15 unearned honorary doctorates and a genius grant, then ShitHub can pay a living wage to every coder. Mobilize all the Vulture Capitalists to fund ShitHub instead of funding startups. When everybody works directly for ShitHub then there won't be any need for companies anymore. The world will benefit from the innovative productive activity of super genius coders everywhere. And the best part is government never has to become involved. ShitHub is private enterprise and ShitHub already represents the entirety of the software industry. All that needs to happen is to centralize all the money into ShitHub.
