SRECon16 was awesome! Sorry for the light issue this week — still recovering from my con-hangover. I had an incredible time, and I enjoyed meeting many of you, both old subscribers and new. Thank you all for your support! When USENIX posts their recordings, I’ll share links to some of my favorite talks.
QotW, from Charity Majors’s day 1 closing keynote (paraphrased):
There are no bad decisions. We make the best decisions we can with the information we have at the time.
Love it. The second QotW was from Rachel Kroll’s day 1 opening keynote, which included a hilarious and cringe-worthy story of investigating a very well-hidden bug with an incredibly bizarre set of symptoms. I can’t recommend enough watching the keynotes, and, well, every talk.
More content next week, after I’ve caught up on my RSS feeds. Thanks again for the huge amount of support you all have shown me — all 250+ of you (and that’s just email subscribers)!
