This is gross.

Marketing teams:
Do better.

You are forever my enemy if you profess to have a level of skill and you're lying.

I don't care about the domain, I don't care about the context. Lying is not OK.

The most powerful (and beneficial) words you'll ever utter in your professional career are 'I don't know.'

Skills (self taught or college) and hustle are what counts.

But most importantly, being able to work as part of a crew.

One of the most effective and obvious controls for protecting privileged accounts is also one of the most wildly underused:
Where you can expect access to them to only be coming from specific machine or machines, limit them to only being used from those machines.

Yep. That's it.

State your career and title out loud to your pet.
Are they impressed? Do they judge you?
Now give them a treat.
What happened?

Perspective is important. Stop trying to please what matters in life with silly human hierarchy.
As long as you can buy the treats, you're winning.

Stop trying to give me $20 $50 Amazon gift cards to sit through a demo. I have scruples. Whether I want to or not.
