Exceedingly late to the party as always, but Giri/Haji is great stuff.

Working with AWS Glacier this afternoon. I think my blood pressure cuff has disintegrated from stress fractures.

The Linux kernel ships 60 CVEs per week, 3100 per year.

curl ships on average 13 CVEs per year, 3100/223 = 14

== Roughly the same CVE/line of code ratio.

Had a little nap due to jetlag. Crashed out hard and thought it was the next morning. Feel like I could sleep another day.
