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 @jerry Its okay to be passionate. It’s also okay to leave at 5 and take your vacations. The choice is yours but whatever you choose, don’t neglect your mental health and don’t expect the machine to not be a machine. The wheel turns forever.
@Rmogull @strandjs @jerry I’m leaving at 4:55 fuck the system
