Freezing weather already happens 3 months out of the year for me. But the cyber attack thing has not happened and tbh probably won't. Seems like a reasonable

  > But the cyber attack thing has not happened and tbh probably won't. You mean because you live in a country that has never been (and probably won't ever be) unstable or targeted by someone? Have you ever heard of NotPetya and its global consequences (which could have been much worse, to be honest)? We are connecting more and more critical stuff to the Internet, pretending that security is not an issue. That is a problem. > It's similar to premature optimization or overengineering stuff at work. There is no need to overdo it. Sure, I agree that there is no need to overdo it. Now if we need to talk about the state of the software industry, I feel safe in saying that most work is "underdone" these days. I haven't had an issue of premature optimization in a long time, but I have issues of "very bad code thrown out there without care" on a daily basis. Similarly, being paranoid and doing nothing because of security concerns is probably not the right way. But not caring about security at all is on the other extreme :-).
