One tile out of place. One budget cut. One breach waiting.


The tile worker said, “My rate is 200.”
The homeowner bargained it down to 190.
They shook hands, thinking it was a harmless victory.

Then the wall was finished -
and there it is:
one tile slightly off.

Once you see it,
you can’t unsee it.

That’s the price of negotiating skill over craftsmanship.
You save a little upfront,
and you pay for it every time your eyes pass that wall.

Cybersecurity is no different.
Cut the budget by “just a little,”
skip “just one control,”
ignore “just one gap.”

And the system will carry that flaw quietly,
waiting for the day someone who knows where to look
comes along.

Small discounts
Small cracks.
Big consequences.

Drop a 💪 if you take pride in getting it done right the first time.
