Since all I see is defcon tweets. I leave for my first defcon in 12 hours. 😬

@AMD Threadripper comes out and I can't find any motherboards for it for sale. 🥲

Sometimes I wish banks, credit unions, and card companies were still stupid. Had my card locked for 24 hours when I tried to pay for dinner yesterday. I watch my transactions like a hawk, I can watch my account myself.

Has anyone come across a piece of malware that tries to steal IDAPro or Binary Ninja license? Doubt it's easy or possible to do but the thought is funny.

One day I hope Windows gives up on supporting legacy functions / features to eliminate the attack vector of so many payloads.

As a native New Yorker, I came across a bunch of Tech Youtubers living in NYC and INSTANTLY knew where they lived from single frames.

Today marks a year without my father. Not sure how to feel about losing him still. I miss him and want to have a beer and steak with him again but I haven't really been sad that I lost him.

90% of the positions I have come across are always Senior positions. I have confidence in my skills but I know I am no where near that. Why does trying to find a job sucks so much now a days?

Imposter syndrome issue #2932

Currently hate #Golang being my main language since no one I work with understands it or wants to work with it. I know Python and JS but it's not to the same level as Go.

Because I have been non-stop programming in #Golang for almost a year now. My brain instantly goes let's write this 5 line script in golang instead of Python.

@hacks4pancakes Even with credentials on my resume for security stuff I did over those years. Still no bites.

[Michael Pivonka @Codedninja]

@hacks4pancakes I was a Developer for 3 years and a Jr Server Admin for another 2 years then I got burnt out. Ended up working at vape shops then got laid off. Afterwards worked for my father doing construction for 5 years. Now applying for IT and security jobs with no response at all.
