on Security, Zero trust, Cloud, Devsecops, Identity
The old security model was built around a perimeter: inside the firewall, you’re trusted; outside, you’re not. For decades, this worked well enough. Corporate networks were physical places. Servers sat in data centers you controlled. Employees came to the office.
on Webassembly, Wasm, Cloud, Edge computing, Performance
WebAssembly was introduced to the world as a faster way to run code in browsers. C++ games, video editors, image processing — things that JavaScript couldn’t handle performantly. That was the pitch in 2017.

The pitch: instead of every team managing their own infrastructure and pipelines, build a centralized Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that abstracts the complexity away. Give developers a self-service experience. Let them deploy without knowing Kubernetes.
