Software is fairly secure, this is how ppl compromise software in real life

1 points by holidayacct ↗ HN
There are modern day luddites, government agencies and just malicious actors who takeover technology companies by controlling the human resources and hiring managerial positions when they have a large enough user base. They compromise the software, play behavioral biology and psychology games that are meant to prevent software engineers from being able to think straight.

This includes some of the following mind games: 1.) Destroying people's ability to determine cause and effect through gaslighting. 2.) Wasting their executive function by getting them to uncontrollably interpret meaning into peoples body language, emotional state and unnecessary ambiguous speech. Think a game of charades where the players don't have the ability to stop playing. 3.) Triggering PTSD by creating entirely fake, scripted scenarios that are meant to raise someone's anxiety levels by making them feel as is they are incompetent. When you're really good at your job they try to make you look as if you aren't committing enough code or you're not meeting expectations etc. 4.). Trying to make you hate the things you love the most. If you enjoy coding, they purposely create bugs that are meant to create frustration until you hate your job and never want to code again due to fear or frustration.
