seriously, this year's @hcdeUW speaker series was so fresh (https://t.co/X2mMH57fpB). Words from
@beh_zod, @JaleesaT, @oscarmu, Erin McLean helped me think through a humane approach to design that I'm pretty stoked about. Even wrote about it on my site. My fave insights gleaned:
Aw Dan. The year we met, you showed me a camera that fit in an Altoid box the night HD told me he was building metasploit.
Your DNS bug catalyzed the creation of Microsoft Vulnerability Research. But your kindness is what we’ll miss. Rest easy old friend🖤

Dan Kaminsky was one of smartest people I've ever known. He wrote an op-ed for @CyberScoopNews the day it debuted, where he called for a better way to guard the internet. Only the cached version exists, but you should read it, as it is very prescient. RIP https://t.co/RVManzkB1L

A great mission is a competitive advantage.
