I keep making satire of The Onion's series on gun safety because "software engineers" are not engineers and we keep fucking up society-critical things by using unsafe tools to make them. Want that series to end? Make the madness stop.

**Concerning CrowdStrike:** We are now at t+26h. Please compare how much we knew about the xz-attack after less than a day with what we know about the chain of events of giant outage yesterday. If something similar had been caused by an OSS component, we would see congress discussing a ban on open software in critical infrastructure already.
