I'd say it potentially applies across the board, from the most venerable C libraries where faults are still being found *many* years later, to the very latest ruby gems (CPAN modules, PEAR modules, etc. etc.) written or updated in the last 24 hours. Dijkstra had a really great essay/rant/philosophy about it, the underlying problem being that issues are created (or magnified) when people don't know what they're actually doing, because they're blindly running code they don't understand. >> Unfortunately, the way PHP matured (if that's the right word to use) > Aged? ?
