I’m not confident in anything I’ve written ever to have it picked apart by a team of expert witness programmers. Maybe that means I have no business working at a startup. Maybe we should think about the implications of that.

Then you shouldn't be handling PII, any more than you should be handling credit card details, genetic information or military intelligence.

The EU has, and has decided that having seen the alternative, it would rather just not have the startups. I think that's a reasonable position to take.

A good thing because it means startups stop playing fast and loose with my data. These are just growing pains. In a few years, enough stuff will be written online about best practices to stay GDPR compliant. The new guys can follow that.
