it is horrible that web dev is in such a shit state, but what is worse is that there is a culture that would discourage you from finding a fix in the name of security.

I'm learning all about this kind of stuff at work now. We have these 'hacking 101' webinars to help us understand common website vulnerabilities. All that because our security software tests huge websites for Javascript security holes like that one. And I'm sure if you tried hard enough, you could obtain a full list of every ICPC participant in that database--including your own personal information that you conveniently blocked out in your blog. Those error messages you received might even have contained some useful column names to help you do just that. ;) How's that for privacy?</p> You know what is totally awesome?

The ACM's website doesn't even validate as proper XHTML, despite the fact they use the Doctype. Maybe someone should write a paper on best practices of web development, submit it to them, and then get them to actually read it.</p> This my friend is the sad state of web development these days.

Well not always, but often.

Also, why didn’t we get free subscriptions when we participated last year? I would’ve liked one. =(
