Did Scott Hanselman have too much cough syrup on show No. 135?

So this question will be technically - in the end - but first check out the Hanselminutes with Atwood (et al.), Where Scott basically offers developers trying to hack this site. This is a scream. At first I thought (in general, of course, because with headphones you get the best looks from people when you listen) "he was either just from an airplane without food service from Hong Kong, or he was hammered for driving Bobcat after too much cough syrup" .

So the question is: if such a site can survive on one box, does it need several firewalls, a DMZ and an anal ex-banker with a big stick? In other words, are we after the grail of security architectures just because they are telling us?

Disclaimer: I love Scott Hanselman and am a big fan of his other level of theory of abstraction.

I really enjoyed the podcast and found it refreshing to hear someone from Jeff's reputation sharing the same reality as many of us. I often find books / podcasts / presentations a bit utopian.

Doing this work is still the main task. Beautiful code, perfect abstraction, NSA level security are all high goals too, but too much attention on these things can lead to premature bankruptcy of the project.

I assume that the service provider has hot reserves ready to be exchanged for its customers, as well as several Internet connections, but still ...

It is possible that Scott Hanselman will also ring, as he also uses the site.
