Here he calls Snowden "not highly technical" because he isnt a developer. Snowden was an enterprise infrastructure/storage guy and got a pretty sr gig while he was really young. He bypassed loads of "highly technical" NSA security on his way out the door. He is highly technical
Conversation
Why this is so funny in this context is that the thread is a programmer talking about how he lost his infrastructure and update capabilities. From an infrastructure/storage perspective that makes me think he isnt highly technical. I doubt would have ended up there.

I personally don't see what's funny about people involved in an open source project stabbing it in the back. It's ignorant for you to suggest I should be managing absolutely everything myself without delegating to others. Do you think doesn't have to rely on others?

I think dealing with insider threats is a core part of enterprise security and it seems it wasnt done here. That's ok, nobody is perfect. It's funny because you are calling him not highly technical after making a rookie admin mistake.

Yeah, nobody is perfect. Some clueless people like yourself make incredibly ignorant and naive claims on Twitter including posting completely ridiculous unconstructive criticism. I don't know why you're talking about enterprise security in the context of a two person startup.

You don't seem to have much of a clue about what happened and yet you're posting analysis on it and trying to criticize me. It was the company providing the domain name and infrastructure. The company turned on the project and broke the agreements. It wasn't a technical issue.

That's absolutely a technical security issue, and only the greenest security person would have allowed it to happen.

I don't see how it's a technical security issue that the company the project was relying on and delegating to ended up stabbing the project in the back. What you're doing is coming from an incredibly ignorant/entitled position where you think I can/should do everything myself.

That's not it at all, I think if it was your project you should have planned for what happens if a rogue employee tries to harm the project. this is literally security 101.

Again, you have absolutely no clue what happened and you're just posting from a completely ignorant and entitled perspective. It was a two person startup. The CEO, 50% owner of shares and director of the board was not simply some rogue employee. The compromise wasn't technical.

I suggest not commenting on something you clearly don't know much about, especially when what you feel like doing is throwing around a bunch of ignorant insults and attacks. You misconstrued what I said and you present this false narrative about what happened to attack me.
No, I'm suggesting that maybe someone so green when it comes to security shouldn't be commenting on someone else's ability.
