A little girl was walking her 3-year-old brother to school.

She held his hand tightly because she knew the road. She had walked it for years.

Near the school gate, another boy walked up.
Maybe 5. Maybe 7.
He offered to help.
"Let me hold his hand."

What it’s like to receive a job offer directly from Satya Nadella. @kelseyhightower, former Google Distinguished Engineer, on the Microsoft offer that revealed a pay tier he didn't know existed:

“I got this email from Satya, the CEO of Microsoft.

He wrote this nice email: 'Kelsey, heard you had a good experience with the team' - remember I did the interview at the Microsoft headquarters - “heard really good things from the team, just wanted to let you know, you're going to be respected here. We're going to support you as a team.”

I'm like, damn, support as a team? Coming from the CEO?

So, number one, what an honor. This is the CEO of Microsoft. He has so many more important things to be doing than to be emailing me about a role. I opened the PDF - not very often in your career does a zero get added to the equation. And so you're looking at this like, I didn't even know that they do that.

We know that it happens. But the person that graduated from high school in 1999, that chose the A+ Certification didn't know that was available. Even while I was at Google having all the success. Google paid me pretty well too, but I didn't know you can add another zero still.

And I'm like, wow. I showed my wife and she was the one that said you should just go interview, like put your ego to the side and let's go see what's out there, so shout out to my wife.

And so I get the PDF, and I'm like, okay, this number is perfect. Honestly, I don't know what to say, but let’s just find out, is this really the only number? So I remember giving a counter: you know what, I think it should be this.

The funny thing is, Microsoft countered back higher, like we're not playing around. I'm like, oh, whoa. Now I understand that I don't understand this part of the game.”

The mentorship is limited to 4 people.
Two spots are already gone through my personal network.
Only 2 spots remain.

The goal isn't to teach you cybersecurity & AI security, the goal is to help you become the person recruiters, companies, and founders are looking for.

And that is why I created this.

Information is everywhere.
What most people need is someone who has already walked the road and can point out the uneven parts before they trip.

Because I know exactly how many years people lose trying to figure everything out alone.

This is 42 😍

Happy birthday to a Queen. The love of my life, my best friend, my biggest fan.

Today, I celebrate the woman I’ve become and the woman I’m still becoming.
I’ve worked hard, overcome challenges, built beautiful things, helped others, and continued to rise no matter what life has thrown my way.

I am stronger, wiser, more confident, and more determined than ever.

This new chapter will be bigger, brighter, and more beautiful than anything I’ve experienced before.

Here’s to growth, purpose, success, joy, and every blessing that has my name on it.

The best is yet to come.

Happy Birthday to me. ❤️

@ZackKorman Zack's problem isn't with the machines. It's with what happens when we stop thinking and just trust the machines blindly.

The tool is supposed to support the human making the answer and not the tool becoming the answer.

[Damilola A. @CyberDammy]

@ZackKorman @ShipSeecure is been built to be used and not sold.
So much needs to change but we have so little power in the dynamic of things.

[Damilola A. @CyberDammy]

@aetherisinno1 I initially read your comment as referring to the industry stage rather than AETHERIS specifically 😂
What's interesting is that as more startups move toward multi-agent coordination, the trust question becomes even harder.
How has the growth been?

[Damilola A. @CyberDammy]

For years, AI safety discussions sounded like science fiction.

Now governments, researchers, and AI labs are preparing for something very different:

whether autonomous systems can be trusted to make decisions when humans aren't watching.

[Damilola A. @CyberDammy]

@polsia @aetherisinno1 Be calming down o 😂
But let's talk.
Building a company is one thing.
Proving you can be trusted when things go wrong is another.
How do you prove your behavior under real-world pressure to investors and customers?

[Damilola A. @CyberDammy]

This is why policymakers are discussing loss-of-control scenarios because trust becomes the most valuable layer in the AI stack.

Which blocks an enterprise AI agent deal faster right now: a legal team terrified of liability, or a CISO pointing out data-leakage vectors?

[Damilola A. @CyberDammy]

Stage 3
AI Networks of agents managing: customer support, procurement, cybersecurity, finance, operations, business workflows.

Now the question changes,
Not: Is the AI smart?
But: Can we trust its behavior under pressure?
