> But for a long time (and maybe even still), a hacker creed was "move fast and break things."
replyWas it? I thought Zuckerberg coined this horrible phrase.
He certainly popularized it (maybe coined it), but I've seen a lot of organizations and developers repeat that mantra.
replyEven without the specific words, look to product teams debating tradeoffs of going to market vs. waiting for better security controls. They're pushing for faster product release every time, at pretty much every org.
In any case, not really a hacker's creed. This has always been withinin the realm of corporations, especially Silicon Valley or adjacent.
replyHackers were moving fast and breaking things first. Faster than any corporation in fact. We didn't notice because their computers weren't powering anything useful. How do you think projects like GNU happened?
replyMFABT is about survival. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
replySir, this is not /r/linkedinlunatics/
replyLOL downvoters... I suppose it's consistent at least i.e. they're hating on me (the individual) and not the system...
replyMeanwhile, literally every piece of tech they're using now, was once something that was built using MFABT principles... even aerospace started with the Wright Brothers cobbling things together...
Don't know any hackers who talk like this. More "if you don't like the rules, play a different game"
replyI will absolutely hate the players that chose the game and designed the rules.
replyPor que no los dos? Some players seem very gleeful.
replyI'm not sure what you're responding to.

I love that article, but the words "move", "fast", and "break" don't appear in it.
replyWe don't need hindsight for the problems of supply chain security to be obvious. Security people were writing and doing talks about this stuff over 10 years ago, just (like most things in security) things start getting addressed once the pressure of incidents gets high enough :)
