Build the Tool You Need Before the App You Think Others Want
When I first started taking development seriously, I felt this pressure to build something impressive — something sleek enough to show off, clever enough to prove I belonged. But the more time I spent chasing the idea of a “portfolio piece,” the more disconnected I felt from the work itself. Everything changed when I started…

We Didn’t Learn from EDR. Now We’re Doing It Again with AI.
Cybersecurity keeps making headlines — not because attackers are getting clever, but because attacks are constant, bigger, and bolder. And yet, in boardrooms and IT shops everywhere, leaders are telling themselves the same comforting lie: “We’re safe. We’ve got the tools.” A few years ago, that tool was EDR. Today, it’s AI. Both promised to…

Headless
After Hours | Gaming, Linux, and the Persistence of Broken State All I wanted was two things. Smooth performance when I was gaming. And colors that actually looked right on screen. That was the entire goal tonight. Not a system overhaul. Not a new distro. Just two things a modern Linux desktop with two monitors…

If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: A Deep Dive into the Most Urgent Book of the Year
This is not a story about rogue robots or a sci-fi villain. It’s a detailed, technical post-mortem of how the modern obsession with building bigger, faster, and smarter AI, driven by today’s commercial imperatives, leads to a quiet, systemic loss of global control. That is the urgent and meticulously argued case Eliezer Yudkowsky makes in…

Someone Is Using Your Computer Right Now. You Just Can’t See It.
You’re sitting at your desk. Working. Maybe on a spreadsheet. Maybe answering emails. Your screen looks normal. Your machine is running fine. Nothing feels off. And on the exact same machine, at the exact same moment, an attacker is logged into your internal systems, browsing your files, and staging their next move. Not on a…

Spiderman – Your Friendly Neighborhood Phishing Kit
For a long time, phishing survived because it was good enough. It didn’t need to be perfect. It just needed to catch the distracted, the rushed, or the unlucky. We were trained to look for the “tells.” Bad grammar didn’t matter to the attacker. Broken layouts didn’t matter. Even getting blocked didn’t matter, because the…

The AI Model Too Dangerous to Release
Claude Mythos Preview found vulnerabilities that survived 27 years and 5 million automated tests. And they’re not releasing it to the public. Let me paint a picture for you. A software vulnerability has been sitting inside OpenBSD — one of the most security-hardened operating systems on the planet, the kind of OS used to run…

The AI Paradox: We’re Paying to Leak Our Own Data
For decades, we’ve built fortresses around our data. Firewalls, encryption, SOC teams, compliance frameworks – billions spent just to keep attackers out. Now, we’re paying subscriptions to hand over the keys. This is the paradox that requires our urgent attention. In the name of convenience and productivity, we are funding the very pipelines that deliver…

The Bug Is the Doorway. The Agent Is the Burglar.
On March 10, 2026, Microsoft patched CVE-2026-26144. It’s an XSS bug in Excel. CVSS 7.5. On paper, medium-severity, the kind of thing that used to mean a stolen session cookie and a compliance ticket. This one doesn’t steal cookies. A malicious payload embedded in a spreadsheet fires when Excel renders it, hijacks Copilot Agent, and…

The Comfort of Something That Can’t Feel
Be honest—when did you last let a person see you? Not a DM. Not a tidy paragraph drafted by a model. I mean the messy kind: your voice catching, the dumb joke you had to explain twice, the silence where you weren’t sure what came next, and they stayed anyway. Lately, many of us have…
