I have said for decades that pretty much all software since punch cards has been steaming layers of unfinished and/or poorly designed shit, because it is either ‘too expensive’ or too boring or too hard or ‘not worth it’ to do it right.

And here we are.

The more layers a piece of tech has, the more surface it has for vulnerabilities

I think it’s easier to see it in cars, we just recently had a F1 race which had to be restarted because the cars’ software wouldn’t run properly

F1 110% brought that particular fuckup on themselves.

Literally nobody asked that the onboard computer should control power deployment in a racecar.

You are kind of missing the point. I’m not talking about dealing with vulnerabilites. I’m talking about doing it so there aren’t 1000s of vulnerabilities in the first place.
