Funny that when you started with "this is a technical crowd" I thought you will continue with "we don't need to be reminded to upgrade".

I usually hack the hackers first

We may be technical, but we are beholden to products we use as well. Being technical can also mean we are more aware of the dangers of upgrading too soon.

Why is the technical crowd less in need of an upgrade? My proverbial “grandmother” only accesses her gmail and one news page. Arguably she’s at less risk than someone testing new software.

Given the ease and severity of this I don't think being technical does anything for you.

I am grateful for the "upgrade now" message being pushed it. As a technical user I can't trust my skills and knowledge to truly keep me safe from this one.

How did you ever survive all that time where you had to decide for yourself whether to run a program or not, without Gatekeeper holding your hand?
