I don't understand why HN has such a flippant attitude towards cybersecurity. You would think a forum full of developers would understand the complexity of software.
But the "just hire a pentester and you'll never have any bugs" and "just follow some (ill-defined) 'best practices' and you'll never be hacked" attitudes are so prevalent.

HN is also full of contrarians and people who like to feel superior than everyone else (and often express that through flippant dismissals).
