> potential to fuel a very expensive, possibly even existential, crisis for your company. In terms of security breaches, this maybe SHOULD be true, but isn't. In terms of bad feature development, it's a little melodramatic. I'm not saying you can't misinterpret something so bad it causes something catastrophic, just that it's more likely to be a couple percent drop in some subset of traffic for some cohort. Not the worst thing. > The default shouldn't be collecting and warehousing everything, the default should be, "when in doubt, throw it out." We have a lot of things where I work that I wish we were collecting now, not because we could use it now, but because we could use it later. And you can't go back in time and get it (usually). Throwing data away is easy. I wish I could have the foresight, the prescience to only store what I know I'll need.
