@mippl3 What's crazy to me is the fedora team worked with the guy made the backdoor because the valgrind issue was a problem when being implemented. Supply chain attacks are always wild to me.

@mippl3 This is why agile development shouldn't intersect with operating system/core packages development. Debian team has the right idea.

@mippl3 Wow. This is so so accurate.

It's super interesting that I saw the original tweet but didn't understand it at all at that point but @fireship_dev came to the rescue. Lol.
