    This is my last week at Immunity. It’s been some of the most amazing 16 years of my life, I’m very proud of what we have built but it’s time for me to move on!

    Can we stop with "Human is the weakest link!" please? It's a debt security people have, not a people problem. Everyone can be fooled into clicking a malicious link, we owe people to built better system to prevent/detect those actions to happen.

    In other bittersweet news, this is my last week at @GitHub. I had a fantastic time working for such a great company, where I help built a Security Research team focus on helping secure OSS. (1/n)

    Five minutes before a call I obsessively look at the clock to avoid missing it, and then suddenly i jump into a timeless task to realize I'm late. Anyone else experience that?
