No one should be linking to N-Gate about an issue like this, and it's embarrassing to see that this page was put up as recently as 2017. It's just repeating "but I don't need it" over and over, while occasionally breaking off to make mind-bogglingly silly claims like "the security of the things I build are someone else's problem", and "we should just magically fix transport-layer bugs clientside." And a few unsubstantiated jabs at LetsEncrypt for good measure, because pretending that everyone else is terrible at their job is a lot easier than paying even the slightest attention to what's been the general consensus of the entire Internet security community for over a decade. I apologize for being a little more blunt and snippy about this than might be necessary, but seeing articles like these tick me off in a weird way (which I'm sure N-Gate would regard as a source of pride). It's a good reminder that people can make just about any poorly-thought-out unsubstantiated argument sound reasonable by just adding a lot of snark and then hoping that readers won't realize there's nothing logically coherent behind their "isn't everyone else except me stupid" hook. I am sure that N-Gate does a lot of amazing work outside of their blog, and I'm sure that if I met them in person I would think they were very smart and charming -- but would it kill them to occasionally post anything on their site that isn't just a bunch of flippant contrarianism disguised as technical discussion?
