    Ugh. Too close. Maybe because my daughter made the &quot;mistake&quot; of getting into tech. Spent 2-3 hours pair-vibecoding with her last night.

    Might actually make it Vegas during Blackhat this year. First time since 2003. The curse/blessing of being one of the few security folks so you get pulled into sales conversations.
