Often I think about security (in any sense) when I cruise around the world. Because many dangers lurking around: we have to be careful.

I bet on it: you were! Do not worry, I am no different.
But there is always a workaround.

We coders love to create, love to achieve. It is a game for us to challenge ourselves every damn day.
