Honestly it’s been a breath of fresh air to have most of the gatekeeping in software be removed.

Seems that it was by and large just people wanting to feel important, and holding onto their positions.

Apps need great security, but security can also get out of control. Apps need good abstractions and code hygiene but that too can get out of control.

I’ve fallen in love with programming all of again now that I’m not so tied down by perceived perfection.

Everything is easy if you don't care about getting pwned, and you don't consider yourself responsible if this has negative effects on other people.
