As the xz thinkpieces start showing up about What Should Be Done, a couple of questions I'd encourage you to keep in mind while reading them:
- Is this advocating security nihilism and giving up because stopping 100% of badness is impossible?
- Is this pushing a random hobby horse like "sign your commits" that wouldn't have helped this incident in any way?
- Is this equating employment/nationality/notoriety with trustworthiness?
- Is this pushing a technical solution to a social problem?
