There is a good old time, before rust and go mindset ruined everything pushing people to wget|bash --install random crap on the spot, when experienced people used to rely on linux OS distributions like debian and co to source package and libraries and ensure to have "stable" and "safe" software procurement for professional and serious infrastructure and deployment.

But young blood mocked the fact to have to wait for Manual human review, safe gpg signatures, cool down periods and weeks of "testing" stage before being considered "stable".

And now most companies data are leaked and on the wide, hackers and ransomware are thriving...

This is crazy when you think about it because after so many years of software dev crafting experience, "modern safe" languages like go and rust, ..., typing, ... You would expect most software stack to be pretty solid and safe compare to 15 years ago.
