Ep 27: Trust, but verify - Why programmers should maintain a healthy skepticism
Why is a healthy dose of scepticism essential for software engineers and why should you cast doubt on things we should trust; CDNs, security reports and our own code.
Delve into the concept of “Abstraction-ception”, making the bold claim that everything we know is an abstraction of an abstraction.
Can learning topics superficially lead to unexpected bugs in code?
Tune in to hear real-world stories of security issues that the SEEK Bytes hosts have encountered, and how abstractions are both necessary for understanding and risky in making us believe we know "enough".
