@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

@nancybaym @lnakamur @sivavaid @whkchun @eszter @ibogost heh. Hi Nancy!!! I'm not dead, just...distracted.

[Beth Kolko @bkolko]

@nancybaym @lnakamur @sivavaid @whkchun @eszter @ibogost Yes, please! A name! (An umbrella term for our historical contributions would definitely not make me feel old.)

[Beth Kolko @bkolko]

@lnakamur @sivavaid @nancybaym @whkchun @eszter @ibogost Thanks for that, @lnakamur ! It's nice to know I've made some good calls in this long twisting career. I'm very happy your work has been able to shape the field and prompt important questions.

I 💛 startups that have strong social missions. The obvious reason is that I like working on meaningful things, but the meta reason is that most people feel the same way. A 💯 mission helps compete for funding, PR, job candidates, etc.

A great mission is a competitive advantage.
