I want to be right, so I keep looking for how I could be wrong.
I ask my coworkers what worries them, how I'm wrong, what I'm missing. I repeat and repeat that I want the bad news, because I can't help fix problems I don't know exist.

In a world where malware increasingly steals session identifiers from browsers, fast and frictionless hardware-based step-up authentication should be ubiquitous to confirm actions.
If an engineer wants to merge a commit, it should ask them to press their Yubikey, Touch ID, etc.

My thoughts about the #Uber hack, as someone who appreciates more each day that these sort of technical failings are often rooted in dysfunctional strategy and leadership. 🧵

Without userspace networking (kernel bypassing), a cache server serving simple key/value requests spends about 80% of CPU time making syscalls.
It’s therefore not much of a stretch to use caching as a benchmark workload for the kernel networking stack.

We’re focused on ensuring people have access to credible information when it matters most.
Today, we’re introducing a new Crisis Misinformation Policy to help protect the conversation on Twitter, starting with a focus on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

People turn to Twitter during crisis times to share news, find support, and stay connected. Today, we’re launching a crisis misinformation policy so Twitter doesn’t recommend or amplify viral, false content that can further harm already vulnerable groups.
