And what, you’re going to find them a new CTO? What kind of magical world do you live in where problems are solved by leaders resigning, instead of stepping up

And what, you’re going to find them a new CTO? What kind of magical world do you live in where problems are solved by leaders resigning, instead of stepping up and taking accountability?
- smt88 2y agoTaking accountability can and should include admitting you're the wrong person for the job and resigning.
- radicaldreamer 2y agoCTO is simply a title, the proper response here would be to hire a head of security and build it into the culture from the ground up. I'm looking at all of the Arc Max features which probably need to be architected correctly to be secure/privacy-preserving. They could take a lot of inspiration from iCloud Private Relay and iOS security architectures in addition to really understanding the Chrome security model.
- kiddingright 2y agoIf the devs didn't take security seriously before, why would another node in the communication graph change anything?
- knowitnone 2y agobecause sometimes it's a deadline pushed by management so a change could result in allow more time for design, programming, review, or even full time security personnel. Nobody writes the best most secure software under deadline
- cutemonster 2y agoYes, the right person maybe can change the culture in the company (plus contribute lots of technical skills)

- strunz 2y agoWhat kind of accountability is it when there's no personal consequences?
- yas_hmaheshwari 2y agoYeah, I also think that asking someone to resign for this does not look like a proportionate response They are owning up to their mistakes and making sure such things don't happen again (and increasing the amount from 2K :-)) seems like the right approach to me
