" On May 12, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14028, which among other things, created a Cyber Safety Review Board, whose first task would be to study the SolarWinds incident. That review never took place — the Board was subsequently directed by the Department of Homeland Security to study another hacking incident. I have repeatedly pushed CISA and DHS to direct the Board to study the SolarWinds incident, but have been rebuffed. Had that review taken place, it is quite likely that Microsoft’s poor data security practices around encryption keys would have come to light, and this most recent incident might have been averted. "

And this lack of accountability is exactly why our world is the way it is. Just remember anyone can justify evil behavior if they try hard enough. Why? because people are not basically good by nature. They are basically evil by nature. Observe any 2-3 year old throwing a fit and you might begin to grasp the concept.
Why is every article that proclaims the value and benefits of electric vehicles ignoring the three factors that will give them a black-eye in public opinion?
1. Where does all of the power come from to generate electricity to charge the electric car?
2. How do we put out the fires when the electric vehicles' batteries catch fire on a daily basis?
3. Where does the additional infrastructure come from to charge all of the Electric Vehicles?
The basic math won't add up at the rate the government is promoting EV adoption. Run the numbers.

It is a platform shift in software development and if you are "all-in" on cloud technology it would behoove you to understand its tenets if for no other reason then to know "who moved my cheese" in the future.
you do realize that "cloud guardrails" often started out life as "hacky bespoke solutions". you are assuming more business risk than is necessary.
The short answer to the question, “Is this useful?” is: “Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t.” ¯_(ツ)_/¯ You will find a wide range of developer opinions on the internet, from “this made me so much faster” all the way to “I switched it off, it was useless”. That is because the usefulness of these tools depends on the circumstances. And the judgment of usefulness depends on how high your expectations are."
