    What I say still holds. If you ever uttered that sentiment in front of me or did not follow through on patching when asked you’d be out on your ass. Has nothing to do with your situation or what you’re making. Your righteous indignation on patching has no place in a business plain and simple.

      No, it doesn’t… because as I said, you have your needs (food, shelter, good car, nice place to live) met… you wouldn’t be talking like this if your place was a dump or you ate the cheapes shit on the market (cuz that’s what you can afford).

      Not trying to start an argument here but you sound very far removed from individual contributors, so maybe from your point of view it would simply look like adding it to a pile. More important than adding it to a pile is to make sure there’s systems in place to make sure OSs are patched. You wouldn’t be complaining to the IT/sysadmin guy about your servers’ vulnerability or patching schedules, you’d be talking to your cybersec department who’d have oversight. And if there’s a breach and your only defense is “I added it to the IT guys pile”, 100% you are getting fired as well.

      I get your point, but capitalism is about doing the least amount of work to maximize your pay. And if the owners (who have the most skin ulin the game) don’t care about infrastructure then why should anyone else?
