Honestly I feel like cyber had largely become checklists, compliance, reporting, insurance etc over the last decade. But now we're back to fighting the badies. Let's goooooooo!!!!!

The best hires are the ones you can delegate outcomes to, not tasks. Good hires come back with smart questions about the next step. Great ones just get the job done.

Marc Andreessen on introspection and the benefits of retardmaxxing: "There's this guy on YouTube who has basically a hundred videos on retardmaxxing." "He's like my new life coach. I haven't met him, but from a distance." "It's basically just—retardmaxx. Go to work, do a good job, come home, it's fine. Start a company, it succeeds, it fails, it's fine. Have too much to eat one night at dinner, it's fine. Go to the gym, don't count your reps, it's fine. Ask a girl if she wants to go out with you, if she says no, it's fine." "It's like 100 30-minute videos about retardmaxxing. And you would think that after the first two minutes, he kind of covered it. But no." "And by the way, they're all hysterical. They're all absolutely fantastic. It's literally him on his porch in the middle of nowhere with a cigar, and it's like a half hour." "It's just absolutely spectacular." @pmarca with @HarryStebbings

We’re thinking of all those impacted by the devastating flash floods in the region of Valencia, Spain. Apple will be making a donation to help with relief efforts on the ground.

Generational trauma. An example of why forgiveness of those who harmed you (if it stops further harm) is so important.

🚀 Excited about the work we’re doing with @Vertiv & @snyksec ! 🚀 “Before Monad, our developers had to hop between multiple tools to track and fix vulnerabilities. We spent a lot of time hacking together internal data pipelines to integrate the findings our security tools produce, and we would have to infer which vulnerabilities to prioritize based on our own contextual understanding of our systems. Monad solves the inherent data challenge in vulnerability management and gives our teams the insights we need to prioritize and handle issues faster. Monad + Snyk is a winning combination.” Mike Orosz, Chief Information & Product Security Officer at Vertiv monad.com/blog/2023/04/06/mo…
