So -- national building codes for software? Government instpectors who audit code? Building permits required to even write code, or modify existing code?

Doesn't seem to line up very well with "Move fast and break things"

When it comes to security around my personal data, I don't want anyone to move fast or break things. Businesses should either not bulk collect identifiable data or treat it with the care and diligence it deserves.

And while we're at it if 20 year old self taught rockstar programmers don't have the skills to do that, maybe they should learn. If you're making web software which stores personal information and you can't name 5 of the OWASP top 10 without looking them up, you're a privacy time bomb. I want my personal data far far away from your product.

When it comes to security, move slowly and fix your shit.

Maybe "move fast and break things" isn't an unconditionally great idea.
