| This seems pedantic and I think you know what they’re questioning and why. |

| If they trust the devs why would they not trust them to not yolo deploy new versions? |
| |
| ▲ | dylan604 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | because a company worthy of trust doesn't yolo their versions. a company that does yolo versions is not trustworthy. | |
| ▲ | hsbauauvhabzb 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Because it might not be the developers doing the deploying, but a malicious actor? |

| > I think you know what they’re questioning and why. No, not really. And I disagree with the premise, "They must be a target for the various hacking groups out there." How would you even hack them? I'm a developer too; how would you hack me? |

| ▲ | lapcat 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | > a five dollar wrench. I'm not even going to respond to this ridiculousness. I still don't know why anyone thinks that, among all developers in the world, a little indie Mac developer is getting targeted specifically. | | |

| ▲ | emmelaich 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | ?! The same way every other developer that has been hacked. You surely cannot be suggesting you're un-hackable. That seems ludicrously hubristic. | | |
