When you're new (to the station, crew, or career) in the fire service and want to be accepted, there's a simple trick. If you're bored: Clean, repair, or maintain something.

This is yet another fire rule that can translate pretty well to tech. :)

Here's yet another situation where Gemini is actually really helpful at performing previously tedious work. It's minor, but those minor moments of utility really do add up to new habits.

I have to begrudgingly admit that when Trump and Elon said they were going to reduce everyone's taxes, they were telling the truth.

By the end of this year my taxable income is going to be way down from last year!

Senior++ folks: Explaining your thought process out loud as you work, to someone more junior, is a gift to both them and you. I've always found that teaching someone helps me refine my own skills as I go.

An interested learner is a huge opportunity to grow!

Maybe one of the reasons we keep ending up with conservative super majorities is that many conservatives will form a unified block behind anyone who cares to their 3 core values, while many liberals will look for any tiny impurity & use that to justify slashing your tires.

Not relevant for most folks, but FYI you can fit a surprisingly large amount of SCBA bottles in the trunk of a Model 3

No, I am not naive or inexperienced enough to think AI is a replacement for a human analyst - but I would be lying to myself if I didn't admit that Gemini is a massive speed boost when triaging and working out what hypotheses I want to examine first.

For example, this task:

There are surely much larger problems right now in fedspace but I am wondering, with the upheaval at GSA, will the FedRAMP program office continue to exist? Does it still exist now?

How will private sector sell to the feds if there's no authorizer?

If you were in favor of providing law enforcement access routes into your encrypted data during the Biden administration, have you changed your mind?

I'm curious how the "This will only be used with due process and legal authority" perspective is holding up in the era of DOGE.

Upping my donation to Signal b/c I bet their serving and bandwidth usage is going through the roof right now and the new users are probably people in fear for their next paycheck so charity isn't at the top of their list

In retrospect, the Democrats should not have allowed Al Franken to be meetoo'd out of office.

They could have gotten a progressive and center liberal majority partnership around a Jill Stein and Al franken campaign.

Franken/Stein would have been a monster of a ticket.

I can't lie, there's a little emotionally raw part of me that's Chuck in this scene, when I read posts on Reddit about how someone is a Staff engineer or CISO and has "7 years experience in the industry"

I have a hard time explaining what I do to non-tech folks b/c there is so muchcontext wrapped up in "Incident Response & Forensics for a global scale tech company."

DFIR folks: How do you explain your job to laypeople?

Not trying to be hyperbolic or anything but if you're an immigrant or LGBT support nonprofit, I would get to work now on figuring out taking donations via cryptocurrency so you're ready when people start making lists of your donors and the chilling effects hit.

Publicly announcing that the 5% of your employees you plan to lay off are the "lowest performers" is probably the meanest thing a company leader could do. First they lose their jobs, then the CEO intentionally tarnishes their reputation in the market so they can't find another?
