In your experience how true are the studies that claim that on an average 8 hour work day, people are only productive for around 2 hours and 50 mins?
I think it can be true for coding, but in this line of work some people can output in 2 hours and 50 mins what other people require a week to do. Also it is possible for someone to create more work through their actions - a sort of anti-work (not to be confused with the subreddit). Sometimes the anti-work can create entire worker-years of work. Actually, anti-work is sort of an art form - here is a guide: https://github.com/Droogans/unmaintainable-code

Making Rust supply chain attacks harder with Cackle
A semi-automated system that compares old unsafe code to new unsafe code would likely be really helpful here - say, a LLM prompted to investigate whether the new unsafe blocks are a significant difference in scope and documented intent from the old unsafe blocks. Unless the winners of https://www.ioccc.org/ are among your attackers, it's a pretty solid line of defense.

The Awk Programming Language, Second Edition
>> Perl can also be hilariously unreadable: https://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol4_3/tpj0403-0017.html
Most programming languages can be obfuscated. That does not mean people write code in those programming languages like that:
C: https://www.ioccc.org/
Javascript: view-source:https://www.google.com/
The truth is that insulting Perl is considered stylish by some, so many people do despite knowing little to nothing about Perl and having never used it.

Radiation-hardened Quine: A quine that works after any one character is deleted
Or this one [3] that calculates pi by estimating its own surface area.
Or this one [4]. It's a lovers quarrel, written simultaneously in C and English. It's incredible, seriously, read it.

Even the K&R book implements a "C gibberish to English" translator
I wonder what sort of "English" it spits out when fed obfuscated C code

I can't fathom how any of those could be used.
