On route to #defcon. This year is particularly special for me, I’m bringing someone who I’ve mentored and watch grow, to their first defcon.
I’m beyond excited to share something that Ive held so special with them and bringing in the next generation of hackers. (I’m also a little envious they get to experience this con for the first time.)
I’ll see you all in #Vegas soon!
"Learn the difference between 'helping' and being 'helpy'"
~ @wendynather at #BSidesSEA
(If all you are doing is pointing at things and saying "look I found all these problems" you're not helping, you're being helpy... Being "helpy" allows you to claim that you're part of the process and a valuable part of the team and it makes you visible in meetings but doesn't actually improve anything.)
