In the last years, I spent some of my scarce free time writing up what I had learnt starting and running two companies, zynamics and optimyze The article is still work-in-progress, but I thought it's best to publish it now and iterate in public: thomasdullien.github.io/guides/entre...

Oh well it’s super hot this week, so it’s time to go buy a stash of ice pops.

What a croc of political shit. At this stage we have CISOs with longer tenure than PMs.

Wait, MS Teams is user to user right? Ban it!

The realisation that I’ve got more tabs open in my mind than all my browser’s combined, now that’s saying something! Every time I close one, a hundred more spawn instantly.

Them: We are having trouble engaging with our devs and engineering communities. Me: What work have you done, are doing or planning to do to understand what their pain points might be? Them: Erm…um..uh. Once again folks, the weakest links are not who you always shout about.

One should always be cautious in believing in myths and fables.

I’ve had some junior folks say that they’re a bit intimidated to share their learning journeys in security because they weren’t sure if they had anything of value or new to share.

I’ve been addicted to this tune for 31 years. Kinda scary how time flies. It’s a go to for when I need a bit of energy to finish a task. Blu Peter’s Magic. youtu.be/BdR8ToCYhTc?...

Mo, what security books are you currently reading? No security books until this is finished…

Evening summer walks.

If they really cared about child welfare, they’d want to create a world where queer kids, and trans kids, and autistic kids, and abused kids and refugee kids are given comfort, support and opportunity to flourish too. It’s not about the kids. It never was.

You have to be careful in how to trust estate agents, recruitment agents, special agents and now AI agents. Are they there to give you agency, support your existing agency or take it away from you. The danger is when you believe you have agency but don’t.
