When Notion announced their AI, their platform was unfucking usable for the longest time. Then just pressing space once would make their AI bot just spew a load of shit into my notes.
when a company announces they're going to start using Al in their products all I hear is "our stuff is about to get noticeably shittier, but you should be excited because it'll be cheaper for us"

This is your regular reminder that if you are the smartest person in the room, go find another room. You are not going to run out of people or rooms.

As of this morning I am unemployed. I am looking for work! I have a range of experience that can be valuable to the right team. A short list of relevant skills that I'd call out: reverse engineering & vuln research, DFIR, project management, infrastructure architecting, system administration.

These days, whenever I find myself feeling lazy, I think to myself "What would <old coworker/mentor> be doing right now?".

Then I get back to work.

A virtual credit card I used *exclusively* for a single (major) platform has just rejected a transaction to pay a citation in a Texas judicial precinct (I’m in california). Why rejected? They got the expiration wrong.

Do we think this bruteforce or are they using an incorrect expiration on purpose…

I like to bypass XSS filters and sanitizers, so I keep forgetting to test for CSS exfiltration when I have HTML injection.

This reminded me of the sic tool by @d0nut.dev  from a Singapore LHE, but there's also a cool list from @portswigger.net  👇

What’s the “hot” platform for writing an article these days? I know Medium has been a faux pas for a while now, but I’m not sure what is good these days.

@hashnode.bsky.social still a thing?

I am finding the idea of going back to work in the security industry harder and harder as the days pass. Frankly, I almost regret my time in it.

It’s been two months since I left my job and this has honestly been the most fun I’ve had in my life.

Not to mention the amazing article I’ll write after this side project of mine is over.

First night in weeks that I can’t find sleep. A low churn in my stomach has been nagging me for hours.

I’m both excited and sad to announce that my last day at Robinhood will be Friday, March 14th!

It’s been an incredible adventure, and genuinely one of the best arcs of my career, but it’s time for me to find the next best adventure (after a well deserved break, ofc 😉)
