>used to get laughed at because I pretty much never updated my system (kernel only got updated when I installed the new version of my OS at the end of LTS support)>this is now considered good security policyHow the fuck did regularly updating your system become a security risk?
>>108610176Updating is still more correct than not. What's important is to have backups.
>How? Cause Microsoft abandoned the idea of someone owning a project because those guys cost too much. When someone ones the project they decide its direction and have the ability to tell people to fuck off. This is important in maintaining quality. When everyone owns something they tend to treat it like shit. Managers come into a project looking to get a promotion to make a few extra bucks or pad their resume. They don't care about the end product they only care about getting all the credit and none of the blame. This means managers can recommend some retarded unnecessary "feature" rush the whole thing get their promotion and then fuck off leaving the team with a technical debt to deal with. When that thing turns into shit because another manager doesn't think dealing with bugs is gonna get him a promotion nobody is blamed and nobody has to take accountability. The engineers eventually just get sick of it and leave with all the specialized knowledge that helped onboard and maintain the project. The team now needs to rebuild their knowledge base and just focus on fundamentals, but instead they'll just keep pushing features that won't work and will be half baked. This is why Microsoft can only produce shit now. Anything good they make is a fluke.
