Drop me a message if you want to meet-up and chat anything secure supply chain or containers. Or just pop along to the Chainguard Booth, I'll probably be nearby!

On Wednesday, during the booth crawl, I will be taking part in the biggest event at KubeCon. Alongside the one-and-only (thankfully) @bretfisher.com , we will be hosting "The CVE Price is Right" at the Chainguard booth. Come along to win amazing prizes (Bret's broken juicer)!

Pretty sure there was a discussion last night where the 3yo swapped shifts so they'd be up for baby gymnastics today.

Michael suggests that a reader has two questions in mind:

 - is this relevant to me?
 - is it worth my time?

And a good hook will make this clear -- so keep those questions in mind the next time you're writing!

One of the first topics is on finding and refining the "hook" for your post. You only have the title and a couple of sentences to convince people that your article is worth reading, so you have to make them count. Too many articles fail at this, and go nowhere as a result.

If you're a customer, it's even easier to customize and rename your containers to suit your use case. And it all gets automatically rebuilt in our SLSA Level 3 hardened factory.

It was a great event, many thanks to the organisers and everyone who attended my talk. It was a sponsored slot, so I get into how @chainguard.dev  Containers and Chainguard Libraries can help prevent attacks like the recent NPM ones.

The product page has even more business numbers you can twiddle with!

You can select which images you're interested in and how long it takes your team to remediate each CVE and get a $ amount out.

"Whenever you have a choice between being right or being kind be kind. No exceptions. Don’t confuse kindness with weakness."

I don't know anything Dr Dyer, or even where I first saw this quote, but you can read more about him on wikipedia:

So it's a problem of mixed signals?
