> I've built an app that I haven't touched in many years with about $1M in monthly revenue (extremely low margin) and it's all good. Yes, it hasn't had any security patches in years

You have a product bringing in $12 million per year (EDIT: I misread the profit remark originally, apologies to Kiro), and you can’t be bothered to do basic security updates?

> it's just a matter of time before it gets hacked but no big deal. If shit really hits the fan I will just shut it down.

You’re basically waiting to get hacked and your response plan is to just shut it down? And turn off $12 million in annual revenue because you didn’t feel like applying security updates?

Are you sure you mean $1 million per month in revenue? Because this doesn’t make any sense at all.

If this is true and accurate, you can at least see why this wouldn't apply to virtually anyone else running a high-profit software app, right? Especially not something like Friday.app which includes customer data.

No, extremely low margin = miniscule profit compared to the revenue.

Otherwise you're right. I simply can't be bothered and I don't even have access set up to the server on my current machine.

I am having a "Life of Brian" moment here.

Me- Look a multi-gazillionaire!

Kiro - The profit is miniscule!

Me- They has spoken!

What is it if you don't mind sharing?

Think Roman numerals.

1M is thousand 1MM is million

No, I'm talking about 1 million a month so that's on me for using it incorrectly then. Apologies.
