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.

🤯 😢 It's 2025, and yet, in the age when AI is making all software and security jobs redundant... We are still collecting payment information like this??? Much work is needed to secure our software experiences for our organizations and end users.

My banned phase for 2025: "it depends" Let's make this year of making appsec easy and making small steps forward and stop hiding behind uncertainty and "what if" #appsec #owasp

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

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.
