## Quote — verbatim

> Ultimately it comes down to who's actually writing the code, who's actually controlling the website, who's actually controlling the communications — those become the attack vectors. So if you can sufficiently decentralize these layers, you will be able to create a much, much better system when it comes to resiliency.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Justifying Akash's newly opened contribution process (SIGs/working groups modeled on Kubernetes); he describes decentralization as an onion — consensus, then governance, then development — where "peeling enough layers" reveals the cracks.
