Men who haven't spoken up on Roe v. Wade - I know you're seeing these tweets, and I know (some of) you don't feel comfortable speaking out on behalf of women. So what you can do is simply retweet the tweets on this from women you follow. It's a great place to start.

Bad management is so endemic in tech companies that weak managers often don't even know they are weak, and power dynamics often mean they have no motivation to improve.

Employers asking for references is so stupid and pointless like...why don’t YOU give me 3 references! Go ahead! Let me call 3 former employees and see if y’all treated them well or like shit, then we’ll talk!

To reach the ~youth~ we're going to have to make infosec sea shanties, aren't we? Guess so! Behold the tale of kid who reuses their passwords & ends up pwn'd, then learns how to stay safe. We're on a mission to encourage unique passwords stored in a password manager with MFA on.

X : One of our customers wants a new feature in our product. Me : Sounds good. Add it to the backlog. X : No other customer seems to want this. It's unique to them. Me : Is it a generally useful feature that others might want? X : I doubt it Me : Then super low priority.
