“Data-driven” decision: This affects a small number of people, so we won’t fix it.
Values-driven decision: This excludes or harms a small number of otherwise disadvantaged people; that’s not ok, so we’ll fix it.
The metrics you focus on are never neutral.

I've found product and marketing orgs expect documentation to have funnels when docs users themselves rarely expect, want, or follow any path you provide. Documentation is more like an open air park that people can walk into or through than a carnival with ticket gates and exit – at Ealing, London

If you're dead inside, go outside. Whether you're taking a walk in a park or hiking in the wilderness, spending time in nature can improve mental health and cognition. Where is your favorite place to spend time outside? Photo by Courtney Celley/USFWS.

Happy palindrome and ambigram day!

It's a once-in-a-lifetime date 🥲

A failed test is not the worst thing; knowing something is broken is a win.
Overlooking a test and being blind about something is not the worst thing.
The worst thing is testing and thinking something is fine that’s broken.
Testing reduces uncertainty; being wrong is worse.

"Go where you're needed.
Go where you can have the most impact.
Go where you have the ability to learn the most, through mentoring + hands-on experience.
Go where you will be challenged, intellectually and creatively.
Go where you're the most excited to be."

I'm tired of hearing that engineers only develop communication and empathy later in their career, or that executives are early in their inclusion journey and building humility

If there was *one* book that I'd wish all security practitioners read, it's this one: "Accelerate" by @nicolefv.
I read it right when it came out and it makes the most compelling case that I've read about why hand-offs between teams discard information.
