P.S. When they need to *share* those passwords, they’re pasting them as cleartext to each other in Microsoft Teams

Psst! Hey, BigCo SecOps: *every one* of your company’s system engineers has a file full of passwords in a minimized Notepad window. Please do everybody a favor and put in a budget request for @1Password, @LastPass, or a similar tool that’s as easy to use as Notepad!

My kids just asked why there was a Minecraft update with no features and what a “Log4J” was, and I have been preparing my whole life for this. I had to start at the beginning with C format strings. I should be able to get to Java and jar files by midnight.

Evergreen, I'm now just going to quote-tweet this every time it comes up in conversation with a consultant I work with

Always bears repeating – which is more expensive, a subscription to a password manager, or a headline-making security breach?

If you’re in product dev, read this thread I don’t have many “best practices” but “fixed-length, variable scope” *really* works if you can get the environment in place to support it

tip ... master the idea of fixed-length, variable scope efforts. really, really, really internalize the idea. seems simple enough, but here are some things ppl miss (1/n)

A radically collaborative org cares—about its people, customers, products—and not just how those products perform, but about how they come into being in the first place. But care is rare—and thus authentic caring is (unintentionally) the most disruptive force in business today.

As an aside, a useful thing to keep in mind about your boss's boss is that they hear about *all* of the "oh shit" stuff that all the managers they manage deal with but only a fraction of the good, chill stuff. Their view of the Average Worker is shaped accordingly.

Someone who manages managers is ideal, since they'll have seen an order magnitude more weird and difficult situations.
