don't hate the provider hate the buyer if someone tells me to sell them shit for 1m ARR i'm going to get squattin and shittin

  I'd say that when the provider says "it's safe!" (and Okta does that: the words trust and secure are all over their front page), then the buyer may assume that it's true. Should the buyer get hacked because the provider leaked plain-text passwords, it is clearly the latter's fault.

    If I sell you shit and you happily eat it, but then 3 months later you're like "dude, why did you make me eat shit?". Idk. seems kinda like the responsibility of the person building the application and managing your users' data to do your due diligence on where the keys to the kingdom go but... on second thought it's crazy that okta even provides this lmao. It's different when you're a SaaS provider with a position of being secure compared to being an indie merc contractor. Hell, if I was an indie merc, I'd straight up just not do it out of principle.

      You can't blame the shit-seller for making you eat shit, but you can choose not to eat at restaurants that have shit on the menu. I choose not to work with Okta.
