This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Reminds about recent Linus' rant on LKML.

You copied that function without understanding why it does what it does, and as a result your code IS GARBAGE.

AGAIN.

Yeah, code reuse is a massive problem in the industry. I can't find it now, but I remember a few years back that there was a vulnerability in the (I think ) Intel management engine due to manufacturers reusing example code from the documentation that wasn't secure
