When I worked as an engineer for a major casual dining restaurant chain, I noticed 2 buttons weren’t alphabetical and fixed them on Monday morning and the CEO got complaints about wrong food being ordered and it’s IT’s fault so much that we rolled it back

Ladies, if your man: - Constantly shows up at the wrong time & looking like a mess - Spends most of his time streaming tv and playing videogames - Has a reputation for being “too fast” and not caring about making a connection You might be dating a UDP packet.

As an ex-AWS sec person, security should NEVER be number 1 If security is number 1, your security leadership fucked up The purpose of security is to prevent an identified business risk and mature security teams get ahead of business goals I fight this dumb belief every day
