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

Probably the "we can do everything and anything right now easy peasy, for serious of just just for the heck of it" attitude needs to be dialed down. The industry promises the heavens and devilish charm while releasing not even half cooked unnecessary garbage sometimes, that has bells and whistles to distract from the poor quality and not thought through, rushed illusions, that can chop all your imaginary limbs off in a sidestep or even without complete uninterrupted attention.

Things potentially making big trouble like circular saw tables have prety elaborate protection mechanisms built in. Rails on high places, seatbelt, safety locks come to mind as well of countless unmentioned ones protecting those paying attention and those does not alike. Of course, decades of serious accidents promted these measures and mostly it is regulated now not being a courtesy of the manufacturer, other industries matured to this level. Probably IT industry needs some growing up still and less children playing adults - some kicking in the ass for making so rubishly dangerous solutions. Less magic, more down to earth reliability.
