Trust Is a Liability

Every thing you trust
is a thing that can betray you.

The library. The input. The internal call.
The "it's behind the firewall, it's fine."

Trust isn't free.
It's a door you decided not to lock.

Verify at the boundary.
Assume nothing because it's internal.

The most dangerous word in a system
is "probably."
