Agreed. It’s really shit for new code, but if I’m writing glue code stuff or repetitive code it saves a lot of time spent on typing.

Unfortunately I can’t help you with Nobara, but I’m surprised you’re having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

Thanks for the response. Seems like I can’t assume other CS degrees are comparable.

We definitely have a strong focus on security in my degree, but I still believe that awareness of what you’re running on your machine and potential dangers of those programs fall into the category of common sense. Mishandling secrets, having bad authentication or not knowing how to setup SSL is definitely experience stuff though.

Neither young or naive. Just assuming others share my experience.

Makes sense, I feel bad for the guys that were happy for a chance and got screwed over. (By the hackers, not you, haha)

That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.

I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.

While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.

If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.

Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂

It’s sad that this works. You’d think especially software professionals would be the most vigilant about running unknown code.
