Security? We've heard of it.

It's just today's list of hacks and bugs, all of which will be fixed in the next few days maybe. I know that my devices are secure because they update every single day or two ... it's entertaining to turn of the automatic updates on your phone and then just get notified that you need to update - virtually every single bloody day!

What does this tell us about the coders? How come they are still employed because they screw up all the time.

The old joke was that if builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization (Weinburgs law). But these days it means the builders would be mega-rich because they would be selling new buildings every other day, collecting the inhabitants data and selling them adverts for new buildings.
