Security Concerns Paramount After Early Reviews of Diaspora Code 206
Stoobalou writes with this excerpt from Thinq.co.uk:
"Following the release of the source code for the Diaspora social networking platform, hackers and tinkerers the world over have been poring over the code in order to improve, enhance, and otherwise help the project in its attempt to unsettle Facebook. Sadly, the current opinion is that the code just isn't up to scratch. While the team clearly stated that 'we know there are security holes and bugs' in the code that was released, it's possible that they weren't aware of just how many show-stopping issues there are — issues which make it hard to recommend that you roll your own Diaspora server just yet."

So in other words, yes, it's a little bit worse than Facebook at this point.

Yeah, students with no real-world big project experience should all just get jobs with large companies and stop trying to be innovative until they've spent a few years updating comments and doing bugfixes in other people's code.
After all, no one has ever gotten ahead in computers by jumping into a huge project they had no experience in while they were young. They need to wait until they're in their 40's so they have enough experience and then start a small project.
Security problems in pre-Alpha code? The whole project is obviously a failure and should be abandoned. What idiots they are for trying!
