Security dude. Formerly first PM + Security Products Leader @HashiCorp. Powerpoint monkey behind Vault, Boundary, and Radar. Warhammer and PC gaming geek.
To the VCs who supported Trump/Musk because they were “good” for tech:

The National Vulnerability DB is temperamental at best after DOGE arbitrarily gutted NIST and stopped payments on it.

Most Western enterprise security tech is partially flying blind vs new attacks

Great job

I worked in/around USCYBERCOM for most of the last decade. They are attacked daily by Russian adversaries, especially GRU/military intel.

Ordering them to stand down is like telling someone whose house is robbed every night to unlock their doors and stop calling 911.

Despicable.

Laptop isn’t a beastly gaming rig either. This is a mid-spec Zenbook running integrated graphics off an Intel Meteor Lake processor.

Thing is less than $600 rn at Best Buy, but driver support is so good it can play most late ‘10s triple A titles with frame gen north of 40FPS.

Computing rn is wild

It’s amazing how good Steam + Proton has gotten over the last 2 years.

Planning to just take Linux ultrabook on our upcoming Europe trip, and floored that most of my Steam library now plays through proton w/ near native performance.

Maybe not year of Linux desktop, but definitely for Linux gaming.

Been using Ghostty as my main terminal for a bit and it’s a blast. Lots of modern touches (tab navigator is fire) and worth a try on OSX + Linux!

Bitcoin in the long run? Probably.

Your passwords? No - because for the last decade the US/Western cryptographic community has been aware of this possibility and working on deploying crypto resistant to Shor’s and other quantum attacks.
