As a former developer, I’m primarily focused on offensive Application Security nowadays. Currently building some things in C++ and Qt as I enjoy desktop development as a break from the state of the modern web.

Today is my last day at ActBlue. It was a truly amazing experience with some amazing people but after 4+ years I’m looking for something new.

If you’re looking for a rails engineer that also knows security, hit me up!

If you’re looking for a security person who has lived many years as an engineer, hit me up!

what we thought we knew about autism and... whatnot

'For decades, researchers had been measuring the wrong thing. Conflating communication style differences with empathy deficits produced dramatically inflated effect sizes and an illusion of empathy impairment'

Every Known Work by Georgia O’Keeffe Has Been Digitized and Made Available Online

Upon hearing the names of Arthur Dove or Marsden Hartley, the saturated colors and organically askew lines of those painters' landscapes may appear before your mind's eye. But unless you have a special interest in American modernists of the early twentieth century, they probably don't.

I learned that the artist behind the artwork for the game Elite was none other than Philip Castle, the designer of the posters for A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket, among others.

He passed away on February 20, 2026, at the age of 83 🙏

Hey Dems, if you sacrifice us women just to make flying easier, we will never forgive you.

If you wanna celebrate a true martial artist, celebrate Bruce Lee.

Lee studied many styles of marital arts, and took what he felt worked best from everything and made his own style, Jeet Kune Do (the style of no style). He was a philosopher, an author, a movie star, a teacher, a hell of a dancer (ballroom and cha-cha-cha), and a stylish fashionista. Additionally, he was eloquent, well spoken and read, gave great interviews, and loved his family.

He also beat the shit out of Chuck Norris. ✊

If there is going to be a talking filibuster over the save act, the Dems need to read Epstein files that mention Trump into the record for the entire time.

The hidden beauty of vibe coding

"It passed all the unit tests, the shape of the code looks right," he said. It's 3.7x more lines of code that performs 2,000 times worse than the actual SQLite. Two thousand times worse for a database is a non-viable product. It's a dumpster fire. Throw it away. All that money you spent on it is worthless."
