CISOs posting their hot takes on ICS/OT and the use of AI on LinkedIn

Is why I have trust issues.

Today, Mel Brooks is 99. God bless him.

In his honor, be funny.

And smart.

Isn’t LinkedIn that place where sociopaths brag about how disgusting they are as human beings, and coat everything in a lot of corporate jargon to sound smart to their circle of sociopaths?

If you fire a junior on the very day that he’s hired, you’re not a bold manager who knows how to take tough decisions.

You’re an incompetent sociopath who hired someone without much experience just because you wanted to save money (not because you genuinely cared about growing them), and you thought that you could assess their potential in a single day, and you fired them when you realized that you can’t get a junior to build a product from scratch without guidance and learning curves like a senior would.

In other words, you have no clue of how to hire the right people for the right task, you have no clue of the budget required to hire those people, you expected someone fresh out of college to build everything for you without guidance while being paid peanuts, you tried to assess the potential of a junior after a single day of employment, and then you also bragged on your social media about your ability to “make hard calls” and understand “what the business needs today”.

These people shouldn’t be managers (let alone CTOs). People leave their jobs exactly because of jerks like these. And, if there was a red flag in this whole process, then that’s probably a CTO who is unable to assess the requirements, unable to hire the right people, and then thinks that he can assess their real potential on their first day in office.

Amazing. The man who wrote the BBC News theme has put lots of mixes onto your favourite streaming platform. Search for “BBC News: Official Themes” in Spotify, Apple, YT Music etc.

I’ve been wondering who would revive the relatively unknown Stempel typeface, Information (and its predecessor Reform-Grotesk). Fortunately, it is Pierre Pané-Farré and Forgotten Shapes: https://forgotten-shapes.com/information

See also his deep research on the project, including the suggestion that Walter Käch was inspired by Reform: https://forgotten-shapes.com/information?article=reform-grotesk-and-information-2 This would mean the typeface is an unexpected part of Univers’s lineage.
