+ I read the news today oh boy + About a silly man who made a change + And though the hole was rather bad + Well I just had to laugh + I saw the code he wrote. + + BIO_snprintf with a cast.. + He didn't know the POSIX API had changed + A crowd on slashdot stood and stared. + They'd seen such code before + Everyone was really sure + It was from 1984.. + + I saw a tweet today oh boy. + The OpenBSD devs had just forked the code. + And though the code was rather gross + They held their nose and dove. + Having read the code.. + I'd love to Ceeeeee Veeeeee Eeeeeee. + + Built up.. a sense of dread.. + IMPLEMENT_ASN1 macros in my head. + Found a way down through 10 levels of hell + And looking there, I noticed more to fix. + #unifdef, and rewrite that + cut this out, and hear it splat. + Found my way upstairs and read hackernews + whining about comic sans and CVS. + + Whiiiiiiinne whine whine.... + Whiiiine whinee.... Whine Whineee.... + whine.. They... Use Cee.. Vee Esss... + + I read the news today oh boy + Four thousand holes in OpenSSL + And though the holes were rather small + They embargoed them all + The priviledged get to patch them + while the rest get no info, at all... + I'd love to Ceeeeee Veeeeee Eeeeeee. + |

+ We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
+ fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
+ "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
+ pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
+ many times in OpenBSD -- a decision is made by a few people to do
+ something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
+ like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
+ work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or
+ irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the
+ surreal going on around you can often make working on such projects
+ feel like you're in a bit of an altered reality.. Sort of like the
+ song. A number of us have had many years like this in the last 20.
