This industry is funny.

In one hand, one is reminded on a daily basis of the importance of security, of strictly adhering to best practices, of memory safety, password strength, multi factor authentication and complex login schemes, end to end encryption and TLS everywhere, quick certificate rotation, VPNs, sandboxes, you name it.

On the other hand, it has become standard practice to automatically download new software that will automatically download new software etc, to run MiTM boxes and opaque agents on any devices, to send all communication to slack and all code to anthropic in near real time...

I would like to believe that those trends come from different places, but that's not my observation.
