rant time: people are so fucking obsessed with building more tools, more products, more services, more "security" layers. are you guys all fucking insane?? every single thing you add is more complexity. and complexity is exactly what makes systems _dangerous_. you don't get safer by stacking abstractions on top of abstractions. you just increase the attack surface and pray the whole dependency chain doesn't collapse (hint: it will collapse!!). now you depend on 10, 50, 100 moving parts. all needing updates, all with their own bugs, all potential supply chain failures and we call that "security" like fucking retards. dude, it's the fucking opposite. we're not building safer systems. we're building systems so complex nobody actually understands them anymore. and almost nobody is asking the obvious question: **what can we remove?** everyone wants to add. nobody wants to reduce. that's how you end up in a nightmare system (hint: we're already in that nightmare). not because of one big failure. but because of thousands of tiny dependencies you never should have had in the first place.
