I founded a company that was acquired by some other company. I operate large scale engineering and product teams. I invest in things I find interesting. I'm always up for afternoon tea.

Doing CISO things and sometimes VC things. @adamely on Post and Twitter.

AI supported NoCode platforms will be the future for a lot of high-level development.

I just wrote a new chrome extension using ChatGPT and Stack Overflow in < 5 mins. A few tweaks to updated methods and bug fixes.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps.

EDIT: Replies tell me that this doesn't function in the UK without a VPN.

Companies should release as many consumer device security/product updates as they can just before Christmas. We're all doing tech support anyway. Get as much done in the annual patch window as possible.

How do you handle "quick"' questions that might be long distractions?

Is this a benefit or draw back of being in the office?

If a coworker swings by you've been 'desk-bombed'. Some hate the distraction.

Working from home seems to have made approaching a colleague's desk for an unscheduled chat even more divisive for those now back in the office.

If I ever do get old, I'm going to get cranky about cloud cost waste.

A tale as old as time:

Developer: it's hard to implement security features.

Security team: we won't be able to get them to do it, it's hard and takes a lot of time

Are companies like Pangea (https://pangea.cloud/) the answer? If we make it easier, is it easier for most dev. teams?

Stop using the "urgent" flag in email. It's probably not really urgent for me (I'll retract this in the cases where I'm wrong).

"CISOs don't have a seat at the table."

Interesting the number of people that repeat this and the few that ever ask how we actually feel.
