Stop trying to market silver bullet products.

Trying to understand low level technology works feels more like a curse. I sound like a cynic all the time. But I hate being lied to or oversold by glossing over holes made by over-optimistic arguments. Sometimes it's unfounded misjudgement, but other times it's I'm just tired of "This product is SECURE because it uses AES-256 military grade encryption". Like yeah that's great but your JIT optimized away your zero and you didn't read your app's assembly code and it's subject to a leak or other memory attacks. Will they be exploited? Probably not for a while, or maybe never, or you might just get lucky.

Every layer of technology has holes, I just wish I didn't feel so alone trying to understand these flaws and build products with an adversarial mindset. Your never going to design a perfect product but if you design a product that can evolve as you learn, I think you can avoid the silver bullet sales pitch.

It's also not a binary, because it can be exploited doesn't mean don't build it, just be realistic about your skills or lack thereof.
