I feel like the world runs on several billion dollars with of insecure code, like GNU&#x2F;Linux, Apache, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, etc.  This code will last decades, and YC startups in particular rely a lot on it.<p>It&#x27;s not clear that the current processes for writing code and then patching security holes will bring us into the future.  Powerful governments and companies are routinely hacked.<p>Can we move all this code to a secure future without rewriting it all?<p>On the other hand, there are existing efforts, like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coreinfrastructure.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coreinfrastructure.org&#x2F;</a><p>I&#x27;m not sure how well they are funded.
