I guess I haven't clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025.

They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.

Highly recommend signing up for Brian’s newsletter, he’s an incredible reporter doing excellent work. Help him keep doing it!!
I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier.

Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.
The tech oligarchs and their AI are taking over. Let's fight back.

Just found a puffed up zip lock lunch bag on my coffee table.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

I don't think I want a new year this time around, I want a gently used year like a 2015 or maybe a 1998 if it's in good shape idk

Finally reached the tipping point where every 3rd post on my following feed has replies from a old twitter follow I've missed seeing updates from, ahh feels like coming home to a warm loungeroom with the fireplace crackling 💜

Can we talk people out of donating to Salvation Army entirely, please!

They force their charity recipients to attend religious conversion sessions as part of receiving assistance.

AND they're wildly transphobic and homophobic!

Fund better charities!

1. It's 20-fucking-24 and we still have to have this conversation with men. WTF.

2. I wish that I was even the least surprised, but every woman in tech can share a similar story.

You boys who can't stop thinking with your penis are pathetic.
Dear men at #AWS #ReInvent

The networking events are not for speed dating. I am here to meet people in my industry or area of expertise, not answer questions about my marriage status.

AI is an enthusiastic intern that has unlimited energy and should never be relied on. Trust but verify.
Holy shit. I know people who rely on that Google search and the AI results for medical advice.
You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search?

I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke.

"Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...
