>> you and i live oceans apart.

> We do.

which, just to clarify, i didn’t mean as “one of us contradicts the other” but that “we experience different slices of life which are guided by different priorities”. i very much wouldn’t want to be a security researcher in the open source areas i occupy now. likewise i wouldn’t want to use the development practices i experience in community open source were i instead building a fighter jet.

looking at the bizarre overlap between “open source contributors who like {Nix,Haskell/FP,Rust}” and “people i know who work for defense contractors” though, i’m actually optimistic that our distance could shrink in time.
