Let’s evolve, let the chips fall where they may.

You’re correct. Right now many experts are scrambling all those small pieces together as to how this could happen in the first place, as a lot of it was public too: the social pressure on maintainers, random software changes that now seem suspicious, and the absence of a real identity of the perpetrators. Every expert who’s onto this seems to be a real person, with a real identity and a real face to the name.

Prior to the first commits, there must have been months if not years of planning too.

But just the fact that some of the code those perpetrators wrote took +0.5 seconds more for something that would normally only take 0.2-0.3 seconds is what gave them away.

0.5 seconds of CPU time vs. years of planning.

It’s an intriguing story.

They tried so hard, they got so far, but in the end, it didn’t even matter.

Let’s hope it doesn’t get that old!

All of them. (I only visit /all)

I self-hosted my remote and now I can’t find it anywhere.
