It's a similar problem the human DNA solved by telling our teenage selves that our parents are dumb and we needed to move to a new tribe. Genetic diversity, but a digital equivalent.

All one has to do to validate this is to look at their own code to understand why it may look like slop.

Anytime a port, a prototype or any other beta/alpha version of a piece of software is coded, isn’t that what we as humans do already?

To say that a human is any better isn’t sound judgement or logical.

If we are just going to stigmatize one word, perhaps, as a group, you should also consider the following list and fire people for these as well?

The only real consistent thing is as each generation becomes "woke" or "enlightened" (as previous generations called it), one or more phrases will be termed offensive by the younger generation and changed to something else.

Great post! Thanks for taking the time to put this up.

What do you think the ratios are regarding improper use of nonce with this mode?

Most implementations that I am familiar with intentionally generate a random nonce to help lower the percentage of app devs doing this very thing

Kruptein: https://github.com/jas-/kruptein

A node.js module which implements a standard API for symmetric encryption and does so by providing the requisite key derivation from a supplied secret, strong key and cipher selections, performs validate then decrypt of cipher text while supporting most language character sets and ASN.1 encoding ensuring compatibility with most if not all database engines.

Used best practices documentation and am currently using famous cryptographers throughout history to name each release.

Example: v3.0.4 Étienne Bazeries - He is best known for developing the "Bazeries Cylinder", and is described as "one of the greatest natural cryptanalysts the science has seen".

I have not read the details on the bill. However, a quick glance just reminds me of how counter productive and opposite of what our tax paid for research outlines as best practices for protecting data.

The NIST SP 800 series publications were paid for by our tax money and outline how encryption should be used for ALL. Not to mention sets standards for all of the intricacies that come with development, implementation and validation of strong algorithms for use in commerce, medical, federal, military and even GAH personal use.
