Should security schemes be more prescriptive? "None of the security certifications or regulations are prescriptive; it is up to your company to define the scope, means, and implementation" While this sounds great, does it put too much interpretation in the hands of the auditor?

Are you measuring subtle frictions? This quote really made me think "where friction introduced by AI tooling is subtle enough to go unnoticed in the moment but cumulatively slows real-world output" How many other sorts of subtle friction do we experience?

Every week, someone comes at me with some hustle culture nonsense about how I must work 24/7 and from anywhere..... sure.... obviously.... 😂

Four months ago, this was a garden potting shed.... Now it's my dream office and recording studio, and the most peaceful space I've ever worked from. As a founder, it's crucial that I have space to focus, but as a carer, I can't be far from home. This is the perfect compromise.

For the second time this year, I find myself impacted by health issues on a trip. This time, COVID knocked me flat in less than 24 hours and has torn this trip asunder. I am devastated but also grateful to be able to isolate and focus on recovery. I will be returning to NZ as soon as safe to do so

Never change America, never change

In a break from #appsec tonight I am watching the coronation on TV with my elderly MIL. Not entirely sure how to feel but it seems we have to eat quiche, scones and drink a lot of tea. Lady on the tv keeps saying the king will be ‘coronated’ (not a word) Gonna be a long night.

Day dreaming about the summer and spending time with the Bees in my garden. This tropical storm stuff can just get in the sea.

Ok, I'm sure there is some reason I can invent to visit this Chocolate 3D printer in the name of cyber security... I mean... for safety or something....

Hello World. Looking forward to connecting to folks on all things #software #startups #appsec
