Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.
I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

Talent is overrated, and if we choose to get better at something, we probably can. Responsibility is a privilege. It's not given to us, it's taken. When we choose to be on the hook for something, it makes our work better.

The problems of security are simple. Solving them is hard.
We added a new slide in the MCRA to communicate these challenges for many different people to understand (business leaders, security professionals, technology professionals, and more).

What's happening to @thekrebscycle.bsky.social is disgusting
He's one of the most hardworking, dedicated and smart people I'm lucky enough to know, and he showed a LOT of courage when he fought back against attempts to undermine the 2020 election result
I hope Americans will stand behind him

This is what happens when 18F goes away: beta.weather.gov has been deactivated, “due to the loss of critical federal staff, which leaves this project without the resources to continue its development or for routine monitoring and maintenance.”

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
