alt Hacker NewsI love how it takes 2 comments to go from *Writing safe/good C code is really hard* to *Sometimes shitty code is good, actually*. In the context of using fuzzers to find bugs in existing code.

Happens in all HN comment threads, everyone answers from their own perspective and context without explicitly specifying it, so if you don't read the sub-thread (first person talks about production software, last person talks about prototypes, in this case), it'll seem like people talk past each other, but in reality everyone is sharing truths that are applicable to their specific environment and context.
