Just to reiterate, what happened is not okay.
I worked at UHC at the start of my career, and I worked with many wonderful people and grew a lot. It’s also the only job my grandfather ever talked to me about - and how awful I was for working there.

Tacti is good people, and well regarded by those who know him.
He co-leads the DEFCON 612 group, nerds out on basically everything, and cares.
If I had a spot, we’d be talking.

Fuck it. Looking for #infosec remote work, full time only. Currently a senior pentester at a HIPAA org (5 years), consulting before that. Looking to move into a management or other leadership role. Been moving more blue team the last year or so to cross the aisle.

Day four into #AdventOfCode, and I gotta say my slice game in go is much better than it was a few days ago. Happy I took this journey, though I look forward to not being up at midnight for a code challenge.

China announced a ban on exports of Gallium, Germanium, and Antimony - natural resources used in semiconductors, solar cells, lead alloys for military etc. I found myself looking for what that might mean for our industries and found these annual natural resource reports from USGS

The solution which worked for part one totally failed me on part two. I don't really know why, but at least I found a different way to calculate it out.

I am on bluesky because I believe in capitalism. Capitalism states that we vote with our money / screen time. I don't want to vote for Elon Musk who is a dangerous individual. I tried alts and they weren't great, this seems to be the first one where it's getting the traction it needs for #InfoSec.

It's a 2D pixel art puzzle game in which you have one braincell shared between many dumb (but cute) orange cats. Pass it back and forth to reach your food bowl.

Threading a needle here, and probably poorly. I’m choosing to be openly curious though.
If you’re in a global code competition to show your ability to understand and solve problems, why are you speed running with AI? The prompts are already written, so you’re purely a copy and paste mechanism…

Painful lesson learned on identifying potential errors, at least with my algorithm. I'm sure it's far from ideal.
