Given the reports on automotive software I've seen over the years from multiple sources, including cyber-security researchers, this doesn't surprise me one bit. Automotive software for the most part is an absolute disaster waiting to happen.

It turns out that JavaScript, the programming language that web developers and users alike love to complain about, had a hand in delivering the stunning images that the James Webb Space Telescope has been beaming back to Earth. The infection has spread off of the planet
I *knew* we should have nuked it from space when we had a chance. It's the only way to be sure.

oh this article has helpful years and references (2008 macbook air), actually interested in this detail of, well if started in 1989, but like when manufacturing, software started. Can't image working on a project being 5+ years, and getting 3 years in and asking, can we update the version we using?
image if was java, and had log4j, at vulnerability comes out, but you already got the thing package up, it fine, it not like a hacker gonna setup a massive radar telescope, pinpoint the satellite all just to hack it.

The planet.
The telescope is innocent, I tell you!

Scientists have confirmed that last year, for the first time in the lab, they achieved a fusion reaction that self-perpetuates (instead of fizzling out) – bringing us closer to replicating the chemical reaction that powers the Sun. My dog ate my notes

No, the heat of the fusion went over Fahrenheit 451 and they spontaneously combusted.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Android malware developers are already adjusting their tactics to bypass a new 'Restricted setting' security feature introduced by Google in the newly released Android 13. Launched yesterday, hacked yesterday. Good work, everyone.

Can'r we programm something that everytime we get such an idiotic "improvement" triggered in our systems and activated by default, the one that incorporated it get a slap or a 12 V fast spark in his balls?

Over the years, I learned that the problem with “best practices” is that they’re very subjective. It depends

Software Development is very subjective[^]
It makes a good point that practices, processes, and frameworks are often opinionated, whereas all that matters is getting stuff done. If a group is doing that, it doesn't matter if some of what they're using seems inferior. To which I'd add that trying to replace an "inferior" practice, process, or framework will cause upheaval and is therefore likely to be a serious mistake if a group is performing well in spite of it.

Definitely. But I think that was the author's point, that if it is within reason, making a significant change to bring in something "better" can prove detrimental.

That's sad, because IMO best practices are not subjective. How to cut corners and what opinions people have about coding and what opinionated framework to use, yeah, those are subjective. But best practices should be things everyone can agree on and agnostic to language and framework.
Quote: Getting sh*t done is the only factor that matters. This is the bane of a maintainable product through its life. I hear this phrase at work and it makes me cringe, as it causes people to compromise on their values, which is contrary to what the opinionated conclusion in the article states.

Marc, send me a personal address off line and name your poison. I support projects started in 1984, 2004 and 2012ish. I make craploads of money doing it, but I'm not cynical. It's just wrong.
Here's where "best Practices" get it so wrong. When BP starts, there are all believers, but there is no one or evil king to enforce common sense. It's entropy. Sucks to be you Darwin.
