I believe that talent and attitude are the key attributes everyone looks for in a candidate.

Without talent, you can have the best attitude in the world and while...

I put a premium on passion but not over talent. Take Joe DiMaggio for example, he hated baseball and never liked it, but was one of it's best players ever....

I don't know, it still walks and quacks like a duck to me. Sure, everybody's got more data and guess what? There's valuable information in there! I think we used...

Maybe a standards entity like the ISO can come up with an extension to the SDLC as it applies to security? Something like that? Maybe it already exists? If companies...

I've been pleasantly surprised by what I've seen for the most part over the years. Even at my last employer (20K+ employees, IT centric shop) there wasn't much abuse of...

I'm not aware of Microsoft ever meeting a revenue stream it didn't like and abandoning it. 'Bob' maybe? Or whatever that OS abomination was called. Anyway, the monolithic company with...

How ignorant. Every time I've heard that claim someone was usually just mindlessly parroting someone else who was trying to sell something. This appears to fit that profile. For...
