Dear followers and "fellow kids,"

In hopes of landing an interesting and fulfilling gig next, I just wanted to let you know that I'm ready for new assignments. Preferably helping companies with digital transformations that keep people at the centre. My 25 years of experience in the IT industry have taught me one essential thing: efficiency and quality are achieved only when happy people work closely together, within and across teams in the whole enterprise.

On April 10th, I’m kicking off something new… and I would LOVE for you to join me 💜

I’ll be diving into Chapter 1 of Alice & Bob Learn Secure Coding live, and I’m bringing an awesome guest with me: Dr. Gerald Auger (Simply Cyber)!

For 2 hours, we’re going to chat through the foundations of application security, things like:
✨ The CIA Triad
✨ Zero trust & defense in depth
✨ Supply chain security
✨ Threat modeling

This is NOT a lecture. It’s a conversation.

Tell the news.

It's nice to link to an article, or do more in depth analysis, but I really appreciate it when people who I trust and who are knowledgeable (especially in areas I know less about) summarize news and events.

Even if it's very local stuff. Especially the local stuff.

Big newsrooms are dying. The editor of the paper or producer of a "news hour" used to do this job, and it a powerful job with tremendous responsibility.

Social media is taking the place of editorial control.

shadow IT LLM usage is never a good idea, if you allow it, it means that confidential information from your company is going into the *personal* accounts of your employees, and is subject to discovery if and when litigation eventuates. don't mix the context windows. just don't.
Quick reminder, especially if you’re a freelancer or developer using Free/Pro/Pro+ plans for client work: Opt out of GitHub using your data for AI model training before April 24 (seriously, wtf that this isn’t opt-in!).

*Company makes my life worse through their product*

I will boycott this product

*Company continues making my life worse, now through externalities*

How do I boycott an externality

As far as the reference to the Nazis go, read about how Asperger’s Syndrome came to be. It’s now just considered Autism

But this diagnosis was used to define who could be useful or normal enough to live or be murdered.

As a neurodivergent person in tech let me make one point here:

Alex Karp is a fascist and misogynist who wants you to be comfortable with the same thinking Nazis had about neurodivergence.

He can fuck right off.

Palantir’s billionaire CEO says only two kinds of people will succeed in the AI era: trade workers — ‘or you’re neurodivergent’

Billionaire Alex Karp tells Gen Z to skip elite college degrees, as one-fifth of Fortune 500 companies recruit more neurodivergent talent by 2027.

The vast majority of people who will be impacted by trans bans in sports will be little girls with short hair or arms that are "too muscular."

It will also mean that when a woman is good at her sport the disgusting grumbling and whispering about "may she is he" gets taken more seriously.

This happened with Paula Radcliffe for running marathons too fast. If it helps you to think of a white cis woman being the victim of this.

Of course little black girls will take the brunt of this. As ever.
