Infrastructure Security @ Coinbase. He/him. Opinions are my own.

@menscher Many security incidents start with “this doesn’t look right” followed by an internal struggle whether you want to pull that string at 7 pm on a Friday 😅

@BreadWinneh I don’t blame her. How can you share your life with someone who doesn’t even verify their email.

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@BobFergusonGov Classy

@Polymarket Covid should have had a name like flesh eating screwworm. There’d be no debate.

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@polydao Their actual response:

“Thank God someone finally documented this”

@UK_Daniel_Card When I was a Sheriff’s Deputy they would have us practice drawing on an assailant with a knife at 15 yards out. We would draw as soon as they start running. Literally no one had their weapon full out of the holster before they were “stabbed” two or three times.

@shenetworks @HDergler That’s true today but I suspect future SWE interviews will be applied knowledge (e.g, build something with this prompt and set of requirements).

AI is rapidly advancing and “vibe coding” is increasingly destigmatized. You already have the technical grounding to build well without having to be deeply proficient in the underlying code.

You might consider starting or contributing to an open source project that solves a real problem in your field. This really sets candidates apart IMO.

@sherrod_im @anton_chuvakin The only career where I can get paid six to seven figures to channel anxiety and ADHD into kick ass security controls and incident response.

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@kapilansh_twt Yes, mostly out of habit. There’s a mental tax in changing my communication between humans and agents.

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@jessfraz Some of the best developers I know are absolutely shredded.

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@orcachillin I’m from the Seattle area but in NYC right now. Must be based on profile location?

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@aincomeinvestor Clicked on it immediately, thrown into a 6 min waiting room, and sold out when I arrived at the cart.

Robinhood is a great app but they need to stick to fundamentals.

@jimcramer We’re cooked

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@GithubProjects If you don’t have integration tests just say it

[Coinbase 🛡️ @coinbase]

The number of stocks tradable on Coinbase.

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@jimcramer Welp I guess $BIRD is going to moon

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@KobeissiLetter @evilsocket What is this timeline

[Jeff Lyon @secengjeff]

@howardlindzon @evilsocket I have on good authority that Mythos has already cracked top secret soup recipes.

@john_wilddog Nurses are probably over there like "sike no one was born today."
