Why I’m leaving developer relations, and why I’m not telling you what’s next.
It’s been a long and incredibly nonlinear journey to get where I am today. I’ll start by saying that I never intended to get into quality engineering. I sought an engineering degree so I could help design the next Camaro ...

I'm currently working on a TLS (Transport Layer Security) implementation for stdx (Rust's extended standard library), and one of the main requirements is to be able to use it on
Which AI coding tools are best? What should you use? What I recommend for development work.
I have been thinking about the downstream impacts of AI systems having strong cybersecurity capabilities.
This past December, it became feasible for any skilled hacker to scale up a hacking agent, spending hundreds in token cost to find thousands in bounties. I call this the “Bug Bounty Singularity”. This is the story of JD (xssdoctor) ...
