Random thought: Any time you find yourself using `unreachable!(...)`, consider that there might be a better model for your abstraction.

I had this happen to me recently, and realized that I could break a struct out into an enum with two distinct cases, eliminating a branch

Fun earthquake! Had something fall off a shelf.

“Oh no! The consequences of my inaction!”

Incredible stuff how the universe sometimes gives you a million and one signs to go in a particular direction.

Not ideal for my long term goals, but clearly a smart move currently.

Just got an email about price increases due to tariffs. Ouch..

As of this morning I am unemployed. I am looking for work! I have a range of experience that can be valuable to the right team. A short list of relevant skills that I'd call out: reverse engineering & vuln research, DFIR, project management, infrastructure architecting, system administration.

These days, whenever I find myself feeling lazy, I think to myself "What would <old coworker/mentor> be doing right now?".

What’s the “hot” platform for writing an article these days? I know Medium has been a faux pas for a while now, but I’m not sure what is good these days.

@hashnode.bsky.social still a thing?

I am finding the idea of going back to work in the security industry harder and harder as the days pass. Frankly, I almost regret my time in it.

First night in weeks that I can’t find sleep. A low churn in my stomach has been nagging me for hours.
