I've said this a million times before but it bears repeating.

If you've got a complex but working highly available distributed system and you're trying to replace it with something new that's "simpler", you'll spend 6 weeks on designing the replacement, 6 months on implementing a working prototype, and 6 years on fixing all your edge and corner cases that the old system had already addressed that you were too dumb or arrogant to even consider.

And sometimes the number isn't 6, but 10.

Today (December 3rd) is International Day of People with Disabilities - and so I thought I would share this graphic which emphasises that not all disabilities are visible.

This year's theme is 'fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress'; which on a purely practical level make sense as so much promise & potential is lost when people with disabilities are excluded or suffer prejudice in the workplace & more widely!

Graphic: two lines of people;
The top line offers a wide range of illustrations of those with visible disabilities with the caption: 'Some disabilities look like this'; while below a second line of illustrations is of 'normal' people with the caption: 'Not all disabilities are visible'

I "love" the way those (ir)responsible for cyber insecurity (time-to-market + profit maximizing fetishists selling closed systems) propose even more closed systems as a cure and even get them mandated as part of cyber "security" directives 😡
