Found @sarahyo.com at #msignite2025 and it's already turning out to be a great start to the day!

Achievement unlocked: get the shibes into official Microsoft content. #MSIgnite

It’s dried fruit, sugar and spices in a sweet pastry. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. It’s served across Commonwealth countries for Christmas.

You can definitely buy sweet mincemeat in a jar to make your own in Commonwealth countries, maybe at an importer?

I would not want a meat mince pie in sweet pastry!

Sarah Young @sarahyo.com · 1d

I keep forgetting that Americans aren’t familiar with mince pies and have to explain that they don’t actually have meat in them 😅

Proud of myself that the social team asked for #MSIgnite travel footage and I managed to get shibe cameos in.

One of the weirder things I’ve DoorDashed but totally worth it.

Sarah Young @sarahyo.com · 2d

The mince pies have already arrived at my hotel!

Apparently taking a decent "I'm on my way to SF!" picture is harder than I thought. #MSIgnite

It's the standard teal Win95 background colour!

I went Windows 95 vibes for my #MSIgnite nails this year.

TIL there is a corner shop in SF that has a dog who works the counter. Going on a mission to find him next weekend. #MSIgnite

. @kawaiicon.bsky.social will always be my favourite security conference. Also I saw an MSRC T Shirt in the wild!

If you wanna know more about your badge and how to recycle it after the con, check out the details here: kawaiicon.org/badges/

Or if you are NZ, plant it yourself! Just rip it up, plant it, and watch your hacker flowers grow.

Badges - Kawaiicon 2025

Your Kawaiicon 3 badge was laser etched and cut from recycled paper with wildflower seed mixture. It was kindly handmade for us by the Papermill in Whangārei.

Wellington has to welcome me home with a wobble... so stoked that @kawaiicon.bsky.social is back tomorrow!

Hunting for my fave kaya toast in KL before the #MSAITour tomorrow!

Because the email with attachment follows exactly the same format with small differences: the US city the person is located in, the exact tech skills they have, the name of the person, etc.

No way are 15+ people sending me (admittedly well written) emails asking for jobs with identical formats

Sarah Young @sarahyo.com · 15d

Am I the only person who gets at least one email a day that is blatantly phishing but someone pretending to send me their resume/CV?

Episode #120 is out! We speak to @merill.net about the Zero Trust Workshop, but we also spend time talking about all things identity! Merill's final thought is pure gold.

You're in!

Legit I need help I can only order a minimum of a dozen.

My first ever job was at a tearoom. They make the best mince pies in the UK hands down. I recently found out they ship to the US but not to Australia so guess who is chowing down on mince pies at #MSIgnite?! I don't care it's only November. Come join my mince pie party.
