A lot of tech people, particularly more junior folks, are looking for jobs right now. A short but important note for them: newcomers should generally ignore career advice from people who've been in the field longer than 10 or 15 years.
The way the industry treats us is so dramatically different from the way it treats newcomers that most advice is just flat out wrong.

I've long said Gavin Newsom wouldn't be my first pick in any primary. Now I'm not sure he'd even get my vote in a general election.

My upcoming retirement from the Marine Corps was recently approved, and it has me reflecting on my career and the many lessons I have learned over the years.

It might be the thing I am most proud to have written.

Two different exploits for an unpatched Parallels Desktop privilege elevation vulnerability have been publicly disclosed, allowing users to gain root access on impacted Mac devices.
@hacks4pancakes Might be the wrong target audience, but we're hiring (hardware) design verification folks. We probably can sponsor a visa for people who want to move to the UK. If you're willing to live somewhere in the north of England, that would make some of our investors happy (we're full remote, but are partially funded by the Northern Powerhouse fund and they like seeing money being reinvested in the local economy).
We probably will be hiring more security-focused systems programmers in the next six months.
