Daniel Julius Bernstein (djb) is the greatest programmer in the software industry.
He has written the world most famous “qmail” and “djbdns”. In March 1997, djb announced to offer $500 to the first person to publish a verifiable security hole in the latest version of qmail. For 8 years, nobody has been able to get the money by finding out a single security hole in qmail.
According to djb, it is possible to write secure software if the programmer is sufficiently dedicated. He believes the widespread prevalence of security holes results from programmer laziness and incompetence.
