I know I&rsquo;ve gone from the guy who would post multiple times a day back in my prime, to the guy who posts once a year or so, but, hey, that&rsquo;s how life goes sometimes.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m still the COO at the Makerspace. It&rsquo;s still challenging as fuck, but, it&rsquo;s really&hellip;beneficial for my mental health.</p> <p>Work is work: both exhilerating and exhausting. New products are always being released, and while I&rsquo;m generally known around work as the &lsquo;security dad,&rsquo; I still have to put the foot down every now and again to get folks to take me seriously. Admittedly, there&rsquo;s nothing like an $800k bill to remind folks that I called this out as a risk 45 days ago for them to finally listen to me.</p>
