This prompts a reflection about, as an industry, we should make a better job in providing solid foundations.

When I check tutorials on how to drill in the wall, there is (almost) no warning about how I could lose a finger doing so. It is expected that I know I should be careful around power tools.

How do we make some information part of the common sense? "Minimize the surface of exposure on the Internet" should be drilled in everyone, but we are clearly not there yet

Here is the fundamental confusion: programming is not an industry, it is a (ubiquitous) type of tooling used by industries.

Software itself is insecure in its tooling and in its deployment. So we now have a security industry struggling to improve software.

Some software companies are trying to improve but software in the $cloud is just as big a mess as software on work devices and personal devices.
