@npub1520…cw07 wow, I wasn't expecting the sheer numbers of the effect here to be this staggering

If you're ever curious about what zero trust security is and you've been afraid to ask, here's the explanation:
Zero trust security is when you map authorization credentials to the scope and lifetime of a service request rather than to the scope and lifetime of your network topology.
That's it. That's the whole thing.

LIFE HACK
How I use ChatGPT to write stuff:
1. Write out a prompt to generate the text I want
2. Read the response
3. Go "this is fucking garbage, what the fuck, you call that writing?"
4. Get pissed off and write the thing correctly
(This is what I call https://xkcd.com/386/ as a service)

One of the hardest and most valuable things you can do as a company is the following:
1. Have a fully up to date org chart
2. Have a diagram that is not the org chart that accurately reflects how work flows through the company
3. Have an up to date and accurate diagram and explanation of what the company does and how it does it (architecture, revenue funnels, business value streams, code-bases)
Scaling decision making is *impossible* without a shared context to build alignment off of.

What is there to say about @npub1tj5…g6gv except that she was an absolute force, too large to ever be contained by this world? All the same, I do wish the world had tried a little harder to keep you in it, because I'm going to miss you terribly. The advice, the chats, the wild speculation about the meaning of life, the dinners, the evening you were.
Thank you for everything, Nova. But especially for being a friend.

I wrote a blog post a few weeks ago on platform engineering, and I keep coming back to this point. It's so poignant, I think, especially now:
"Frankly, who the fuck do you think is most qualified to lead without authority and work within systems to drive change than those who have been systematically oppressed, denied leadership roles and opportunities, and have had to succeed despite that?"

The correct pronunciation of BUSL (the license #HashiCorp has chosen) is "bussy license" and I will be taking no further comments at this time

The last 24 hours have been some of the roughest, most brutal, most draining, most discouraging, and most disheartening I have experienced in a very very long time. I am tired, I am worn, I have not slept, and I am so exhausted. I am too tired to cry.
Does anyone have cheerful anything right now? News, puppies, pictures, anything? ❤️

One of my deepest dearest wishes in life is to not need sleep. It's just such an unbelievable waste of time for me.
I'd fill the time with relaxation to a degree, yes, but sleep? Blah
