Creating a windows installer from anything other than windows necessitates using a third-party USB tool that you download from somebody random, because of course it does I pulled relatively popular a git repo, and had an agent run an audit of the code before building. I want that power more.

Perhaps we ought to be building everything from source now so we can do this kind of thing. Distributing binaries becomes considered bad practice.

I wonder how long until we make all code supply chain contingent on an agent scan. I also wonder how much the non-engineering world understands what a diceroll node_modules and etc have been for over a decade. Talk about unreviewed code!

(To be clear: the agents are the antivirus I'm referring to)
