    you never downloaded a program on GitHub

    Precompiled binaries?!? Not even once. It’s a security risk akin to picking up gum on the sidewalk for a fun tasty treat.

      So when you just needed software, you built it yourself. But first read every single line of code to ensure that it’s safe. Did I get that right?

      Because if you don’t trust the developer to provide safe binaries then you wouldn’t trust the same developer to provide safe code either.
