From the discussion

A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.

> an engineer asked for a few days to pentest new code before shipping it, and CEO Andy Yen answered that it was “bullshit and loser thinking” Wow my first exposure to Andy Yen shouldn’t have been this one.

I'm a security guy. I know a lot of these privacy-minded folks. They are not the types to accept enshittification and they are the types to read these news. As soon as they discover something else, they're off. Good luck proton.
