So what’s you’re point sir?

My eyes hurt after having to read that sentence.

If people don’t take the time to learn the correct way to do something, …

The problem with that is where do you go to learn? One expert might do it this way and another expert another way.

This is what I meant when I said earlier that until there is one recognized authority, it will be every man for himself.

I am NOT advocating everyone give up their freedom and I am not saying we have to have a more secure base PHP be default.

What I am saying is that everyone needs to educate themselves but in a standard way from an authoritative source. That source would consist of of 8 – 10 experts agreeing on a common way to overcome security isses.

You might laugh and say, we can’t get 8 – 10 people to agree on that. If you do…you have restated the problem I am raising.

1.) You can try to make some dynamite from scratch, buying all the chemicals, mixing it all together, pouring it into the candles…

…OR…

2.) You buy a kit with simple instructions and safety precautions.

#2 doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s never going to be unsafe, but it’s a better chance that you’d have less problems because you don’t have to worry about the deep down nitty gritty stuff. This is something like PHP (#1) and ASP.NET (#2).

Personally, I prefer PHP over ASP.NET (using C#), but that’s just me.
