Slack is meant to be addictive. I only use the web client and modify it with tampermonkey

All notifications disabled and I only read when pinged. davison updates are the only mechanism allowed.

Communism will never work due to human ambition. There will be corruption, nobody will ever be equal. I have no opinion on who determines what other than corruption.

Cuba is full of rich and futile soil ripe for crops but the government owns the land and forbids it.

No system with humans will ever be perfect but communism doesn’t seem to be the answer.

Has it ever worked?

Someone who gets it. I work in security and everyone hates me because I add friction and cost. On the flip side, I have a lot of PII to protect.

Sure, that’s why I am not naming a competitor. Security leadership is the biggest wildcard. I always want to do the right thing. Not everyone does.

I use a competitor to HackerOne. I view all submissions pre-triage and would have taken it seriously, even if I made a mistake in program scope. I have paid researchers for bugs out of scope before because they were right.

I went to interview at a fortune 50 company that is primarily based in India.

It was very clear my communication style and values is drastically different.

It was a good opportunity, but one of the most frustrating encounters I’ve ever had. I’m glad the offer didn’t go anywhere.

I’m a hiring manager and I don’t care about cover letters. It really comes down to luck. I’ll have HR/recruiter spend %15 of their time to funnel applicants in competition with other hiring managers.

I try to sit down with recruiting and review linkedin and give examples of who I’m looking for.

We don’t use tooling to filter applicants. Maybe we are behind.
