So many people get caught up in the idea that corporations are *good* at security when designing things. Assuming that most people access infinite complexity in their lives, and have infinite monitoring and infinite research time. Without any errors, breaks, or idiocy. And that people always follow procedure to the letter. I really hate it.

Talk to someone, no one knows who
To learn something they don't know
To give them information that I don't have
So they can shut down a thing that might ruin their work
But no one knows if it will

Train software engineers to be bad at Kubernetes and Terraform, but only one or two per team
Then, once they're trained, promote them since they have skills.
This makes sure you have no technical debt

Or, you can have an infra team, but seal them off, and don't let them work on stuff

It seems to follow the local logic that if you cannot sell stuff, raise the prices and people will think the item has become more desirable. The mind-boggles when I see this here.
Needless to say, I'll take my custom elsewhere in a such case.
This would be less concerning if he had not written a commercially available Unix kernel clone that you might know
As it is, I worry about people's ability to think about computers

Why do any of us use AWS?

You need: A time traveler, having an identity crisis, who wants Superman to think they are cool, and is a bit of an idiot? With a piece of shield tech.
And you make them *Adam Strange*?!
So much of Star Wars does well because of how it handles chases. (Note: Episode I of course made this seem bad)

As a very rich millenial, almost all of my wealth is familial, and so many friends with good degrees are just... Unemployed or underemployed for years at a time
Successful millenials have shadow economies to support themselves

Today, most webpages look the same. They don’t have to.
There is no reason for their look beyond convention, false assumptions, and probably a type of soul-tiredness prevalent today.
Your webpage can, and should, look however you want.

I'm not a fan of this mindset assuming everybody following conventions somehow do it against their will.

Also - I feel like the modern web design sensibility limits accessibility.

It's very similar to newspapers in that regard.

How does that sound now?

But websites aren't newspapers, they're zines. And zines *really* don't look the same.
This is also on the topic of *personal* websites, rather than corporate websites. Corporate websites have slightly different rules, obviously.
I wouldn't mind this criticism from an original website with weird navigation, bizarre formatting and distracting visuals. But here it rings hollow and at odds with their own design decisions.
and CMS you can customize, and you can use CMS themes that look wrong

Once a counsel decided: we really don't care how it looks, anything goes. And everybody build perfectly normal houses.
People copy. And maybe improving while copying. Starting all over gets you lots of work, with worse results.

Many people miss the Geocities aesthetics now.
I think Neocities is pretty cool for that. Lots of really creative sites there and I think it uses IPFS as the backbone.

I mean, the obvious issues of distracting the driver with constant alerts, and that they are constantly surveilling workers. But also - Amazon should not have this large surveillance fleet. And nor should a random California company.

Doing tech support for cable TV to stabilize the income. I don't mind though. It frees me up to be able to pick and choose the projects I want to work on without having to sacrifice my ideals for financial reasons.
