In September an expired root certificate caused a cascade of issues across some of the biggest services on the web. @raphaelbeamonte shared how we identified the issue and acted quickly on a solution that prevented a global outage of Shopify's platform. bit.ly/3K94YG7

Seems like a lot of folks are going to end up alone tomorrow. So, a reminder. Love y’all. ❤️
Hey, as someone who has spent a lot of holidays alone, I have some thoughts. Yes, we all intellectually know it’s COVID’s fault but at some point dark thoughts will likely enter your head. “You’re a loser.” “You’re alone.” “You’re unwanted.” Your brain is a bully. 1/🧵

Yubikey has done more for enabling work life balance than any other tool. Everyone I know has stopped using work apps on their phones. Too lazy to authenticate. 🤷‍♂️

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

tech designs are all about trade-offs and tech reviews are all about people finding the thing you traded off and going "why can't you also solve that?"

"Webshites" was a typo, but you know what, I'm gonna go with it.
It's kind of amazing how many webshites have adopted a mobile strategy of "hide all the useful content with CSS and don't respect the 'Request Desktop Site' option".
