Adam Back calling out the importance of fuzz testing and @dergoegge's work fuzzing Bitcoin Core
@EnjoyingBitcoin i'm here to push back on other people weakening bitcoin, actually. people have heard finally that rapid or ill-considered change is risky. good! have been saying that for a decade. but filtering proponents like to paint a story the bitcoin devs are changing stuff. but they're

Fuzz testing and Bitcoin Core... We received a pretty overwhelming response to our recent job post for a Bitcoin Core Fuzzing Internship at Brink. Brink received over 70 applications for the role with many qualified candidates. After the results of a coding challenge, we

Many people, myself included, tout the importance of software maintenance in the context of Bitcoin Core. It is easy to throw out "maintenance!" and most people will nod their head in agreement, but I think its helpful to have some examples to understand the depth of this work
The security of Bitcoin Core’s codebase is rightfully emphasized in discussions of the Bitcoin network’s resiliency. But Bitcoin Core’s code is not the only code executed when running Bitcoin Core... https://t.co/mkOzZV5pDr

Relying on external code is a risk. We look at the work in Bitcoin Core to minimize these kind of dependencies.

I was on this livestream yesterday @TriciaOhio with the same ERO agent, same clothes, and same vehicle. Here is the agent walking outside of the Hoffman Police Department with the same girl in custody. It makes DHS and you look incompetent when you make false claims.
