I almost suspect Ubuntu paid for this blog. I imagine it showing this in an ad, adding "or use Linux, which just works" at the end.

There is a reason we use React today - if you want dynamic and complex site, HTML is PITA to work with. Either you reload everything on any change (not good), or end up with a maze of partial reloads in event handlers (not good either). It was done, it was bad, React (and similar frameworks) was the solution. If you don't need complexity of React, fine, use HTML. But if you do, who can guarantee that 5 min later someone will not start requesting site not to reload here and there, but update this bit here. So I don't blame people for just using React. And in this case the issue wasn't that react was used, but that it was used poorly.

I guess there might be Bobby 'insert into EMPLOYEES...' tables somewhere.

I like to pause movies when some code is shown and see what it is. Apparently you can break into pentagon by knowing basic sql and high-level employees have alternate life writing tcp implementations and graphics libraries.

I am not sure RAM/fuel prices have much impact here. I have a phone that's about to get 3 generations behind latest one and comparing them side by side, I have 0 reasons to upgrade. Some specs are better, but not enough to notice in daily use.

> A good piece of software would make it hard to do this by accident, and probably should default to having the same behaviour with or without trailing slash.

Django redirects one version to another by default, which achieves that.

> At least Google/Bing/Yahoo scraping would then be used to provide links back

That doesn't work anymore. Google provides AI generated summary, nobody looks at the original site.

Those employees cannot (and are not expected to) code, so dynamic elements are not an option. So what you'll get are mostly either reports or messages. Reports could be created by software (which is how an engineer would do that), messages (like responding to client or manager requests) require more human-facing skills.

> it likely can also identify if the thing it's found is similar to something that is already found in the security mailing list?

It can not because this mailing list is not public.

> If more than a few percent of execution time is spent in Python you are probably doing it wrong.

Every program that starts with 1% of Python writes more Python and gets to 20,40, 60 and than 99% of it.

They claim you can easily mix them so there is some degree of compatibility.

I assume other platforms will prioritize paying customers over agents (of not paying ones) because they do not have resources to attempt anything else.

Github ignored platform issues (not just performance) because it was busy migrating to Azure, and it wants to bear the cost of ai using its infrastructure now to benefit from that somehow later. Other providers do not have this problem and live mostly from paying customers whose priority is to have stable platform. So yes, it is easy to find someone else whose priorities align with mine and doesn't have GH issues.

> AI gets tossed around as excuse for things, but it really is finding some obscure vulnerabilities humans wouldn't have.

Which is fine, as long those using it do not do so at expense of others. As a paying Github customer, I do not wish to pay for a service that doesn't work because someone else is throwing agents at it. This is largely GH issue, not general problem.
