I wanted to take a few moments and apologize to many of my former students.

In the past I said the industry needs people who look at security as a vocation and an avocation.

I was wrong.

Have a life outside of this industry.

Have hobbies that have nothing to do with your computer.

Get outside.

The problems of the industry are not problems of people not working hard enough.

They are not problems of people not being "hard core" enough.

They are problems of education and resource prioritization.

I was wrong.

I am sorry.

Stop breaking yourself on rocks for people who don't really care if you break yourself on rocks.

@strandjs You got it. Looking at seed catalogs now.

@kalmn @strandjs glad it's not just me that hits the gardening scene when the day to day tips me over the edge!

Hello I am Ry and I am a gardening-oholic.

@ryancee
@kalmn @strandjs
I suck at making time to take care of my garden, but following because of it now XD

@kalmn @strandjs one of faves is gardening too

I get to spend time outside and see things grow

I’m not always the best at remembering to tend it, but I do really enjoy it

It’s so important to remember to do other things and not just spend time on infosec. When our career is also a passion it’s important to have other things too

@kalmn which ones? Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalog? I get lost in that one for hours.
