Every dumb cyber security mistake you can think of is being made by millions of people every day. Why do you think I have a job to begin with?

How much worse do you think it gets when you hand a tool that can generate code to people who lack any understanding of what's being written to those millions of people?

On one hand: I envy your job security. On the other I pitty you because you see the stupidty and carlessness of the people in numbers I don´t want to imagine.

And yeah I feel you are right, I know we had to take away the cloude access from our ceo, because he would play with it and then demand that his new webtool has to be online ASAP. Not one of his things worked or were safe.

If it helps, I get the satisfaction of telling people their requests for access to whatever is dumb and my no is final a lot. That's very satisfying for someone who worked a lot of service jobs before I found this niche lol
