"Here's the thing - this technique completely breaks traditional code review. You can't spot what you can't see. GitHub's diff view? Shows nothing suspicious. Your IDE's syntax highlighting? All clear. Manual code inspection? Everything looks normal.
The invisible code technique isn't just clever - it's a fundamental break in our security model. We've built entire systems around the assumption that humans can review code. GlassWorm just proved that assumption wrong."
Yeah the whole article is awful to read. Everything the LLM added is completely useless fluff, sometimes misleading, and always painful to get through.
that screenshot looks suspicious as hell, and my editor (Emacs) has a whitespace mode that shows unprintable characters sooooo
if GitHub's diff view displays unprintable characters like this that seems like a problem with GitHub lol
"it isn't just X it's Y" fuck me, man. get this slop off the front page. if there's something useful in it, someone can write a blog post about it. by hand.

This is pure Claude talk.
