We use the cloud version of Secret Server at my workplace and I don’t have any major complaints about it. We do combine it with SSO wherever we can to make things a little easier on users.

I think the “truth” is likely somewhere in the middle: Be cautious and take precautions like washing your hands, avoiding huge crowds, and having some extra supplies on hand, but don’t panic. It’s not completely out of our control but compl

My kid starts elementary school at 9am with one late start day a week. We’re able to spend more time with her in the evening because we don’t feel rushed to get her to bed so she gets enough sleep. I also find she doesn’t seem totally exhau

I commute about 35-40 minutes both ways and it’s crazy to me how many people I see messing with their phones while driving at freeway speeds. It just makes me wonder: Do people not realize how dangerous it is? Or do they just not care? I ho

You are definitely not lazy! It takes me a good 20-30 minutes in the morning to get situated once I’m at my desk. Sometimes that time is spent just reading email and catching up, sometimes it’s checking HN, sometimes it’s messing around on
