This 1000% WE are the weakest link! The most technically secure system would be nearly unusable by humans without enormous inconvenience. So long as software systems are built by humans, for humans, they will always be vulnerable at the int

Gatekeeping????? That's the most absurd use of that word I've ever seen. It's a hobby. Hobbies cost money. People don't have the god-given right to play piano, just like they don't have the god-given right to fly a
