@venkat_s You are a fantastic story teller and very quotable. Almost a week after your talk, this pops in my head daily: “Simple things should be simple. Complex things should be affordable”

[Dino A. Dai Zovi @dinodaizovi]

In general, software engineering is all about managing complexity. Security almost always adds complexity. Learning how to add the right amount of security, in the right places, with minimal additional complexity is what most helps the product/business succeed.

The GDPR is fine. If websites make it tedious for users to opt out of their data being collected or block them entirely it’s their decision. Personally happy for GDPR

There’s a lot of stuff I love about Europe, but seeing this sort of thing is not one of them:

For those complaining about GDPR, under it, the right to access personal data and the right to data portability would, well... protect our data rights

Question for the more legally knowledgeable: when I was pregnant I used a contraction monitoring device & app. Now I want my data (for a friend’s study, fwiw) but they are refusing to give it to me and saying I should just take …screenshots from the app. Isn’t this illegal?

I realized I get more mature as a developer when unconsciously changing from “wtf are they doing” to “they probably had their reasons”

[Jessica Kerr @jessitron]

The stuff I leave on the counter is there for a reason.
The stuff other people leave on the counter is messy and they should pick it up.

Similarly in code.
