Revisiting the good enough generation
2008-08-04 14:08:19 by HASH0x8b4bf64 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 

Thats right, talkin' 'bout my, my g-g-g-generation. The generation where good enough, is . . . good enough. There is no sense of being the best you can be or going over and above. Just enough to get it done is the way of the world. So with Rothman revisiting Big is the New Small, I thought another look at the good enough generation was in order. It was just over two years ago, that I wrote the original "Is good enough security, good enough"

Now with hindsight it appears Mike and I were saying very close to the same thing. That the sad truth is that for most people having security that is good enough, is enough for them. Subsequently if the big guy has good enough, why bother with dealing with a multitude of vendors and tower of babel security infrastructure. So after all this time Mike is not entirely wrong.

However, I still believe that there is a percentage of the world that doesn't buy into the just good enough theory. For folks like that given the resources, being the best they can be is the way of the world. If I didn't believe that, I would not be as jazzed about building a company like StillSecure as I am.
