Here's an idea for a talk by me at #fosdem Interesting?

Title

"Tightening every bolt"

Abstract

Things to do in order to sleep well while having your C code in twenty billion installations. A talk about what the curl project does to minimize security risks: Security, Safety, Reproducibility, vulnerability handling and the processes and tooling around it.

it would be nice to see you hit the topic of not being able to do so as well when pressures, mental distractions, managers, co-workers, wars, friends, relatives, elections, etc all give you reasons to do poorly.
(Not necessarily a negative way even)
This is from my limited time writing chill* code in c# for addons to 3d modelling and BIM tools.
Nothing fancy, but geeze there are some hurdles.
*chill code = like 2 people might call if error, and can likely move on without it fixed.

@thejikz right, because that is the real-world challenge isn't it? Knowing is one thing, actually being able to do it and to keep doing it, is the hard work.
