what I'm doing now

This Week

I am focusing on the security challenges associated with running production AI workloads.

Recently

I have taken on a new role within the Office of the CTO, Emerging Technologies team. I am now the ET Security Team Lead and am enjoying a refreshing change of focus.

I am test driving git-delta for prettified side-by-side diffs on the git command line.

I am still learning to type again. It turns out that the switch from an ISO layout back to ANSI after 20 odd years is causing me grief. My newlines often get a \ mixed in and tilde is 3 rows higher than expected.

I spent some time avoiding Emacs package bankruptcy. A recent package install broke Magit so I decided it was time to update all installed packages and prune out all the things I no longer use.

I also turned on which-key-mode to help discoverability. I've been using Emacs for decades but there is plenty I have not learned about yet. The gem I learned this week is the C-x 8 e emoji keymap.

When Linux kernel 6.12 was released my small contribution to it meant I had made 100 commits to the project:
