Oh ****... Sudo has a 'make anyone root' bug that needs to be patched – if you're unlucky enough to enable pwfeedback

I'm kind of upset

I'm a little upset that I'm only now finding out that this option even existed. Five years ago I had to google high and low to find out why the hell I couldn't type my password into the terminal (first time Linux user then), and when I finally asked on a forum I was told "Get used to it pleb. Type it correctly and it's not a problem!" or something to that effect. So I did. But I didn't need to when I was learning the ins and outs. #$@!

This feels like if your dad kept tossing you down a hill on your bicycle until you got it, then half a decade later you see a kid on training wheels.
