Security Lessons Learned From The Diaspora Launch
I've always wondered about this (not being a code-monkey-ninja-wizard, myself)...<p>If you open source something, unless it's perfectly written, wouldn't the hacking potential be... near 100%? If everyone can see how you do <i>everything</i> it seems like even a minor slip up will potentially surrender your site.<p>Could someone explain this (I'm probably missing a piece of the puzzle I can't place)?
