Rich Geldreich has been tweeting non-stop for like 3 days with very angsty "I just got fired" tweets. But he hasn't worked for Valve in some time, so I'm not sure what is causing this. Apparently he's going through a divorce. I'm moderately concerned about his mental health but also this is a bizarre trainwreck to watch. Take a look: https://twitter.com/richgel999

So is he trying to say his previous employer has dirt on him and is blackmailing him into spying on his new employer? Or what the fuck is he trying to say? It's Jake level cryptic shit.

Modern software is filled with abstractions layered on top of more abstractions. At each layer there are bugs: normal bugs, Heisenbugs, race conditions, array overflows, uninitialized vars, etc. This is why I avoid languages with huge runtimes like C#. They just add more bugs.

What did you expect from C#? You are using a language that uses JIT by proxy. If you can't deal with it go back to C/C++/Modula or asm.

News flash the libraries you use often have bugs. Report them and move on.

I didn't even see that.

"yeah I don't use runtimes or operating systems I just calculate everything on pencil and paper because software has bugs. I don't know what bugs, it just has bugs. everything has bugs."

I'm sure the clown doesn't know anything about the KiSystemServiceTable and how many exploitable bugs there were in that under WinNT.

If you are interested:

Mark Russinovich is the person that ran sysinternals before microsoft brought him on board.

Hooking the system service table is what most of your security and antivirus products do, under WinNT.

You can find more information by just looking up hooking the system service table.

So your abstraction can included bugs at even a lower level.
