null | paul_h | null | Yeah was light on "why". I used to work at a company selling consulting services (ThoughtWorks), and then more recently (Snr. Director of Engineering / Chief Scientist) at a hedge fund administrator, so I saw both sides of the fence.
We outsourced a web-app to a small team in China on a **time and material** basis, because a) all our devs were busy on valuable revenue earning dev work, and b) this new web app would be profitable soon after going live, and c) the app wasn't high intellectual property. If we delayed the project's start we were also delaying the profit. Therefore there's a clear return on investment (ROI) aspect to it all. The vendor worked 12 hours out of phase with their dev liaisons in-house. Once a week we'd organize a 7/8 PM/AM GoogleHangout just keep faces and names associated. Both sides enjoyed the experience - and we made it sane with [Mountebank](http://www.mbtest.org/) meaning the China team didn't have to do VPN at all to 'services'. | null | 0 | 1491232099 | False | 0 | dfrtuq3 | t3_6355ui | null | null | t3_6355ui | null | 1493757819 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

The 'help' you perceive from opening up your source is entirely incidental -- it's the equivalent to increasing the sampling-rate for testing purity saying that it's increasing quality, it simply isn't: it's merely increasing the resolution and giving you a better picture of what the quality actually is.
To [directly] increase actual security you could do something like use [SPARK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARK_%28programming_language%29) to prove the property of your code that it does not violate the security model at hand -- you can do that on something that is closed-source, or open-source. | null | 0 | 1491234625 | False | 0 | dfrvzr7 | t3_6344ep | null | null | t1_dfrt2kf | null | 1493758906 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Exactly. The professors that I had in classes where we learned to interact with a database in our program were all using string concatenation instead of parameterized queries against the db.

Because it starts with the assumption that the password is valid. (`is_valid = True`)
The proper way would be something like this:
Function Matching_Password( User_Input, Password : String ) return Boolean is
begin
-- Ensure both strings start at the same index,
-- Ensure both are of the same length,
-- Ensure both contain the same values.
Return (User_Input'First = Password'First) and then
(User_Input'Length = Password'Length) and then
(for all index in User_Input'Range => User_Input(Index) = Password(Index) );
end Matching_Password;
You could even attach constraints to the type to ensure properties of passwords:
Type Password is String
with Dynamic_Predicate =>
Password'Length in Positive -- No zero-length password.
and then -- Passwords are alphanumeric + plus underscore
(for all ch of Password => ch in 'a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'0'..'9'|'_')
