Patrick on the RubyGems exploit, "The ultimate nightmare scenario would have been ... to put back doors or root kits into commonly used Gems. And then, anybody who types bundle update, or Gem install anything for a period of weeks or months before it’s discovered, would have their machines rooted. That’s the ultimate nightmare apocalypse for the Ruby community kind of disaster. I think we missed that by minutes. It was a very close thing. I hate to sound overly dramatic. But it’s kind of like Cuban missile crisis level, as far as software is concerned, right?"
