Comment on Doing Things That Scale

Comments

I may be generalizing too much, but I might sum up this post as: “uniformity breeds resiliency”—and while I get what the author wants to get across, if everyone had their setup, no one would be able to offer better font or icon defaults as they would have never tinkered.

to add to that, ... uniformity also breeds monoculture which is bad news for attack surface. monoculture always enables exploitation at scale

So, better way to say it is "uniformity breeds extinction".
