This is fun and all, but if the message that this tries to pass along is "don't bother with proper security because it's very hard/impossible, do your best and ship, you can always fix your code", than that's bullshit. Secure coding is possible and is our responsability when we are writing code that others are meant to use somehow, and if most of the devs lack the formation in secure coding and if many companies don'…

There is no message, only your imagination.

It's a nice thing to have though...

I'm not sure what you mean, could you elaborate? Wouldn't it be a good thing if the world held us to a higher standard?

The message I understand is: less code, less bugs, less problems, better to maintain. But it is already my way of thinking.

Essentially, keep it simple. And only write code that you need.

I somewhat disagree, the author is perfectly aware that putting this code out can cause security issues and is willing to accept patch when necessary. For example 9 hours ago he added support for windows in responses to reported issues. Please take time to read contributing rules before complaining about a totally legit FOSS project:

All changes are welcome as long as no code is involved. If you run into any bugs, please file an issue and explain how that was even possible.

So I kindly invite you to discuss this issue directly with the author through GitHub issues manager as he had invited you.

It would certainly be a good thing, what I meant was that programmers currently are able to be lazy because very few people are able to judge the quality of their work.

alternatively; why write code when your software company can grow on hype alone?
