I'm really hoping this, and the last few weeks, are a tipping point toward taking supply chain security seriously.

@mttaggart Gives me the chills. As a solo dev, my entire livelihood is tied to the integrity of my toolchain, and there's only so much I can realistically audit myself.

@mttaggart I'm sure vibe coding will make securing the supply chain easier and not harder /s

“Taking supply chain security seriously” involves laying off the productivity obsession and allowing programmers to remain calm, focused, and vigilant.
I don't think we're anywhere near that tipping point, unfortunately. Companies and politicians still think we can solve this problem with audits, regulations, and hoop jumping.

@mttaggart @peter that github news seems bad!

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange my fear is it's going to lead to more expensive and annoying policies from companies, bothering developers, so that compromised stuff is immediately deployed at company-scale. -

@bovaz You know, I think the constant compromise of their repositories and credentials is something of a bother in and of itself

@mttaggart Not that we know which one and can check our own extensions to make sure we aren't compromised. That would be too much to ask!
