I’ve had to fight with the ego of the author for the first 20% of the book. I’ve thought about dropping it a few times, but I’m glad I didn’t. The second half of the book is really inspiring.

Cybersecurity doesn’t just need brilliant minds.
It needs supercommunicators—people who can turn complex ideas into clarity, urgency, and action.

Today we’re studying variables with Python. Using containers to hold paper notes with values scribbled on them. Ideally operands should be of a different color, but I ran out of post-its 🙂↕️

I am convinced 99% of websites should use magic links + passkeys.
It bypasses all (debatable) portability objections to passkeys, it’s at least as secure as email-based recovery, as fast as a password manager, it’s available to all users… and importantly, no passwords!

I wrote about how magic links (emailed one-time login links) frustrate me while explaining that they radically accept some fundamental truths. I argue that websites should layer passkeys on top of magic links to provide a seamless authentication experience for everyone. rmondello.com/2025/01/02/m...

In the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder wake, notes sociologist Zeynep Tufekci, armed security for chief execs will become even more common, ”further removing routine contact between the extremely wealthy and the rest of us, except when employed to serve them.”
