Interesting bug I came across in a solana program few weeks back (yes I'm fully rust/solana pilled nowadays #accelerate). Slightly technical but worth your time. Fascinatingly not caught by clippy. Imo this reads at first glance like valid code that does what it intends.

Having audited both M1 and M2, @eigencloud is still to this day one of the sexiest flexes on my resume of audits I've completed and an absolute privilege. The high level architecture is not complicated, the code is easy to read, extremely well documented. The team is up there

They say 10,000 hours till mastery. Next month is my 4th year as an auditor, thats about 7,680 hrs all up at 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year. What I realise now, is that true mastery, takes a very long time, a lot of dedication and sacrifice. This is not

The SEXIEST low level tactical issue in SOLIDITY is without doubt the 'rounding error'. This is how I look for critical rounding errors: 1. I look for division (obviously). Consider cases where the numerator is smaller than the denominator (theres other cases but this extreme is
