Quotes

• “Every time we design a system, we have to minimise the potential harm. Look at the code that you write, look at the systems you design, and think: How could this be abused? How could this fall apart? What are the failure states here? If you were a bad actor, if you wanted to use this maliciously, how would you go about it? Think about how you’d attack your own systems, explore those failure states, deliberately screw things up and see how your code copes. Because if you don't, someone else will.”
• “Every bit of freedom that a designer has for creativity and good is also freedom for abuse. That’s true not just on the web, but in every single aspect of the online world.”
• “"Nothing to hide" only works if the folks in power share the values of you and everyone you know entirely, and always will.”
• “The stories we tell, the things we do, and the memories we have - either in our heads or in our backups - are more important than any physical object.”
• “Anyone who tells you they're certain about how the world works is either a mathematician, or they're selling something.”
