So how do we prepare? That is something we should be talking about.

"The ranks of the betrayed had grown. Our new common ground was the dirt kicked in our faces."

Gardening meme

This is my favorite meme of all time because it is my experience exactly (except it was .NET). I own a whole farm now!

Raccons are trying to break into Cybertrucks, and there's some speculation that this is happening because the raccoons are literally confusing them with dumpsters. Picture of cybertruck with racoon footprints

lol

As soon as @bsidesaustin.bsky.social is over, I am going to continue my quest of studying for some of the AppSec-related certifications. My path is:

OSWA->CBBH->BSCP->OSWE->CWEE

FYI, it is a mix of @hackthebox.bsky.social @portswigger.net and OffSec certs.

What is your quest? #appsec or not?

First post on a new social platform...what to say?
I guess an intro is customary. I work at a huge company doing AppSec work that I love. I am an organizer of BSides Austin. My partner and I are proud cat parents. This platform look promising. I like the positive energy so far and I need that now!
