Don’t selfhost. You inevitably will misconfigure your servers and lose your customer data. Bow to amazon overlords and don’t even think otherwise.

Don’t drive. You inevitably will kill some pedestrian. Use Uber and let professionals do it.

I don’t think that’s a healthy attitude. And exposing data because of misconfigured firewall (ahem, DOCKER-USER, ahem) is like 1000x more probable than someone hacking your cryptoschemes.

There must be freedom in software engineering. Even at cost of some grave mistakes.

It's ironic you say this because I find Uber/taxi drivers to be noticeably more dangerous than average drivers.
