It’s really a conversation about what you did before, why did you pivot in cyber, what was the process you went through Breaking Into Cybersecurity.

Atlanta, GA
Eight new CISA-exploited flaws and rising AI whistleblower reports demand stronger SMB governance: clear ownership, evidence of patching, and AI stop conditions. Read the full framework: Eight Exploited Flaws, AI Whistleblowers, and the Evidence Gap, by open.substack.com/pub/cpfcoa…

18 two-word AI prompts I'm kind of obsessed with: 1) now what - great for when you've wrapped up a project or big push and you still have energy and want AI to give you more 2) plz fix - usually accompanied with a screenshot flagging an issue or error or a DM with a bug report 3) do this - usually accompanied with a photo or a screenshot, if I see a great tweet that I want to implement, i'll just screenshot it and toss it to codex/claude 4) interview me - I'm a context hunter, and I want AI to keep pulling more context out of me that I didn't think to first give it, very helpful for tailoring responses or solutions 5) keep going! - I don't know, guys. I just find myself motivating my AI agents a lot more these days. Other versions of this include 'have fun' and 'I trust you' 6) elii elie - this is my shorthand for "explain it to me like I'm an intern" and "explain it to me like I'm an executive" and it's really helpful to get quick reframes if I'm stuck 7) first principles? - sometimes I read an answer and think 'hmmm that's factually right, but it lacks heart and no one will care' and it's usually because the problem-solving wasn't upstream enough, this prompt helps reset that and reset assumptions 8) simulate it - love when AI runs scenarios, plans for edge cases, and visualizes it all into a dynamic interface for me, this is one of my favorites 9) challenge me - or 'challenge this', used when I desperately need a sparring partner and not a sycophantic kiss-ass :) helps to get a new perspective 10) da fuq? - Fable 5 took a different English class than I did because sometimes that model gives me five paragraphs of hyperdense phd-level info and I'm more lost than when we started 11) find leverage - show me the small moves that create disproportionate outcomes because I don’t always have time to optimize the 37 tiny things 12) hey simon - he's my AI chief of staff, and when I talk directly to him, he can route to and coordinate with the other 33 agents, this is the ultimate 'summoner' 13) spawn agents - any time I'm dealing with massive quantity (like tons of tasks or a lengthy spreadsheet or something), I aim for parallelization. dynamic workflows in claude is another great option 14) automate this - many times, after a long conversation with AI, I realize that I will need to do that task a whole lot more. So I type something like 'automate this' or 'codify this' or 'schedule this' so it can become a repeatable pattern 15) remember this - any time I flag a mistake or critical context, I'm forcing the AI to log it into memory. It often does it automatically, but not always! 16) forecast impact - asks AI to play out the downstream consequences (including legal, PR, economic, political, team) of whatever I'm asking 17) show receipts - I want to see solid sources, evidence, reasoning, so I can quickly call out issues (bad sources is a 'fail', and great sources are not an immediate 'pass') 18) girl bye - when AI loses its mind, and I need to get the heck out of there and start a new thread
