@Fork_Merge@mastodon.social @cR0w@infosec.exchange My hypothesis is that it's a function of the push for time-to-market. Rather than give people the time needed to develop a complex platform that works well and is sustainable long-term, the market forces incentivize behaviors that prioritize short-term optimization over long-term risk reduction.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange @Fork_Merge@mastodon.social I'm just increasingly thinking that there aren't very many incentives - and that there may well be incentives in the opposite direction - for making quality products.

@nerdpr0f@infosec.exchange @Fork_Merge@mastodon.social That's certainly the case in the security industry. The worse they perform, the more they sell.
