I’m going to shut this instance down. It’s just soaking up capacity, we built it and they didn’t come. So, asked and answered … people don’t want or need to join a dedicated #mentalhealth Server instance. That’s ok, it was worth a test, but also it’s wasteful to use this compute capacity.

Blog: Reset, Refresh, Recharge

In this current environment of Big Tech layoffs, it is timely to remind ourselves that we are not indestructible and that we need to take time off in order to do our best work and be at our most happiest and energized.

This one's been in the draft folder for a long time! I love doing this, but has not always been the case. I've been lucky to have great coaches, managers and comms people help me get better and be successful on the biggest stages. It's an aspect of a role that matters to me, and when missing becomes a blocker. And so, todays topic is ...Presentations and Demos!

Blog: Hooray for Generalists!

I’ll start by saying, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being a specialist or just loving “one thing”. Frankly I am envious.

But I want to dedicate this post to the Generalists, to those of us that like multiple things, love roles with multiple aspects and/or bring together multiple disciplines.

If anyone here needs help and support, I run a site https://theintersection.app that provides help, guidance and support for people in the tech industry with their mental health. Do not suffer alone.

I’m also building a series of Voices where real people share, openly or anonymously, their stories. Your participation is welcome!

Remember that 'distracted boyfriend' picture which went viral? Here's the same people (reputedly) 10 years later.

If you are new here, or even if you’re not, this site is here to provide a nice warm cozy safe place to be yourself and talk about mental health .. and anything else you want, so long as it’s being respectful … with the explosion of intake and the somewhat epic implosion of Twitter, just a PSA :)
Feel free to boost, we have capacity and very good server ops.

Ok, I did this a while back but a lot has changed. So here’s a new #introduction

I’ve worked my whole life in tech and security, spent 13 years at #Microsoft and a couple at #Google, a short stint working in #mentalhealth and currently working on #SelfDrivingTrucks (which is both super geeky technical and has a lot of safety and security aspects, so different but same same)

I run https://theintersection.app site and https://theintersection.social instance where I hope to provide help, resources and support for peoples #mentalhealth … you are welcome to join or just follow #theintersection

I’ll also be posting #cycling #biking #CatsOfMastodon and #DogsOfMastodon along with snark, sarcasm and thoughts on #InfoSec in general and the odd #Sportsball post

It takes a little time to establish yourself here, follow liberally (and then mute or unfollow if needed), Boost to on-share and Hashtag Everything! Remember, no ads and no data selling Algorithms also mean no funds, so support your instance admins!

This place is fun and engaging, let’s keep it this way :)
