Static Analysis is Not to be Offered Through Fear

Recently I was wasting time watching stuff on YouTube and at some moment I thought that static analysis tool vendors might have some marketing materials there.

Turns out, they do. Here's a neat "BUY IT OR UR SCREWED" video from Coverity dudes:

WOW! SCARY!

The irony is I'm rather old and I have very good memory. I watched the above video and I got sure I've seen something like that before.

But where?

Who might use these "use it or ur screwed" tactics so persistently that it got imprinted in my brain and I now remember it?

Here they are: the toilet cleaning chemicals.


WOW UR TOILET IS FULL OF GERMS USE OUR CHEMICAL OR UR SCREWED

What can I say?

Dear Coverity dudes! It's gonna be okay, just don't lick ur toilet.
