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.

    Walnut Creek CDrom (wonder whatever happened to them?)

    Sort answer: the internet killed the cdrom star. If I dig deep enough, I am sure I can find a cd or two from them. Downloaded many a megabyte from ftp.cdrom.com. They used to proudly boast of the specs for their mighty FreeBSD powered ftp server. Something like a quad Pentium 3 Xeon with 4GB RAM. Thanks for that trip down memory lane.
