I'm no expert in this but I suspect a good T&C should save you? I mostly think that because I've never heard or seen anything like this even though lots of companies have screwed up lots of times. If it was that easy to sue th

Way too optimistic. Businesses instantly turn the methodology into a device for exerting power. What you are describing only exists in books and on manifestos and perhaps in 5% of the businesses. The rest bastardise and devour the methodolo

It's only recently that people have started to assign blame and responsibility to the platform hosting the content (really only after the US election drama). Back in the earlier days of the internet the attitude was quite different. It

Stick to Postgres and investigate how you can improve things. I guarantee you have not reached "max postgres capability", far from it. You will 100% regret changing the database as a solution to your problem and you will buy yours

Companies that don't have the "everyone with an office" culture are not going to accept. Even if they did you sure as hell wouldn't want to be the single snowflake there with the private office. Companies that do have th

At the end of the day it comes down to the fact that businesses just simply don't care (Equifax etc). They like the idea of security and that's where it ends. In many places if you try to "do things right" you will get f
