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

Things like this are why I would never hire a professional programmer without an online portfolio of source code to check for Blatant Stupidity.

    Which is why your defective designs are offlloaded into everybody else in the organization, and when you get called on the carpet to fix your shit, you further offload your work onto others inside and outside the organization.

    There's a reason why people who have to work with "engineers" hate them. For a population who had to pass Calc III, partial differential equations, and dynamics' you guys are awfully retarded.
