« […] la question du sexe n'est pas liée à l'idée de crime, mais à l'idée de péché. Et d'une certaine façon, le péché, c'est le cœur du métier de l'Eglise. Là, on a un protocole bien préparé, depuis des siècles : pécheur, confession, pénitence, repentir, pardon. L’Eglise s’occupe du « pêcheur », pas de la victime, parce qu’elle ne pense pas ces actes comme des crimes ! »

Nobody cares about security. There. I said it. I said the thing everyone feels, some people think, but very few have the temerity to say out loud. But before you call me...

“The problem with security is that it’s impossible to measure your ROI. Even if we can measure the cost of a security incident (not an easy task) it’s almost impossible to measure the likelihood of preventing them (hence ROI) based on different security solutions. […]”

“Lesson 1: The only two things that make people buy a product are “discomfort” and “convenience.” Discomfort will win every time.

Lesson 2: There are only three things a business cares about: Increasing revenue, reducing cost, and removing risk. You need to speak to (at least) one of those things to make your case.

Lesson 3: Know what’s important. Which systems does the business consider critical to its continued financial success? Those are the ones you’ll want to focus on in terms of risk assessments.”

I used to think GitHub Codespaces would help popularise Gitpod but now realize it is the other way around. Gitpod is currently permitted to exist in the Visual Studio Code ecosystem to popularise GitHub Codespaces, and Microsoft can step in at any moment to create legal crises that strategically divide the market from a business perspective because, like Apple and their AppStore: it is their ecosystem that they control and they are in absolute control.
