I'm just really not a home run hitter. I like sports and some of the sports either love me ( #Yankees ) or really hate me ( #Bills ). I also like lots of other nerd stuff. Here's my Carrd: https://imnotahrhitter.carrd.co/

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

The Man Who Saved the Internet Yesterday

Ondřej Surý was a relatively anonymous volunteer working on PHP security. Then the internet exploded.
