Screen cap of a spam email that reads “starting soon! Candlelight chat” then goes on to say my protection plan is expired.

Awwwww… it’s so sweet of the spammers to want to wine & dine me before they steal all my data. 🥰🥰🥰

Thanks. I feel so seen. I feel so validated. I feel…

Wait a minute!

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by AI.

My lovable echo chamber machine thinks I should walk to the car wash. That’s fine, I’m sure.

ForgeMind: the reason for the season.

Hello, hi! It’s true. I’ve really cut back on the socials.

Seriously, this article will be immediately put to use in my organization. Can’t wait to read it.

What eternal September was for the early open Internet, is that what OpenClaw and moltbook is?

A flood of inexperienced personalities let loose on the Internet with little understanding and less oversight.

I want to read this. I keep pushing for a “high velocity, high trust” team environment. Sometimes that gets translated into work super fast, work super long, or work super hard. Which, ironically, creates a burned out and slow team.

Putting a tiny hyper addictive computer in everyone’s hands 24/7 was a fucking horrible idea it turns out

Is the year of AI developers, the new year of Linux desktop?

Bet you can’t.

It’s not the last minute if there are hours before it’s due.

I am a Product Manager looking to do 30-minute user interviews with people currently writing and using Python at work to find out more about how they use Python.

These are 30-minute user interviews and not sales calls. These are about you, not my company, I want to learn what you are doing.

Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now The search warrant to raid a Washington Post reporter’s home shows how authorities can open your phone without your consent.

Biometric locks for phones aren’t just convenient for you, they are convenient for the cops.

Hmm. This reads like a cry for help.

I google up another plumber. Done with AI, I book online instead of calling. Hours later, the plumber calls back. He can’t make the time. His website is broken.

This isn’t the future I worked to build. Also, pipes remain frozen.

Frozen pipes. I call my favorite plumber. Their AI answers. We schedule a visit for tomorrow. Hours later, the plumber calls back. He can’t do the work. His AI hallucinated.

The best part was the plumber saying, “You need to punch your zipcode and frozen pipes into Google.”

OODA loop can be useful. But also can be over-used.

First, most organizations aren’t fighter jets. They are aircraft carriers. Big. Slow.

Second, most teams are cross-functional. Cyber may OOD. But it’s front-line teams that Act.

Being understood and feeling understood is two very different things, especially when what’s doing the understanding is a server farm.

The sound of dialup screaming was really warning us of what was to come

Come heckle!

I had no idea! That’s an incredible tie-in, thanks Jim.

I’d definitely see that! Can I just say in the original PRD for what became Duo’s Beyond edition, there was a large section at the bottom underneath a heading that read “Here be dragons” that was all additional context about the enormity of it all

Here be dragons

Excited for my RSAC talk with Helen Patton, on all the ways the zero trust buzzword has failed us, and all the ways to make the most out of buzz.

Their claims towards inevitable AGI are akin to claiming they can teach the solar powered calculator collecting dust in a drawer in your house how to love.

no they were not.
