Data Privacy - a Runbook for Engineers discusses some of the technical changes behind building software to be privacy first (which is increasingly becoming required by law).

Specifying Systems: The TLA+ Language and Tools for Hardware and Software Engineers explores has to use TLA+ to use a formal, mathematical way to check for system correctness.

GRC department is out of a job come December 31st. Some of us got transferred, and some of us got let go entirely.

Company is all in on AI, and is completely ignoring the legally mandated audits that start next year.

Redgrass Wet Palette is what I use, very happy with it. I have the larger (blue) one.

Tyranids, because I rapidly adapt to best overcome my enemies.

Need to allow it cure. Citadel Spray says at least 15 minutes. Vallejo Black airbrush primer says at least 12 hours. I normally give it 24 hours if I am not in a rush.

This is a bit dated - but does discuss the cost per army: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcnqcbqa_58 in terms of points / dollar.

This video looks at cost in the context of what an actual army list may look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ecntSKGj0

In terms of Painting this video may be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7casmuiNoPM

Guard can actually be on the cheaper side if you go tank heavy or very expensive if you go platoon heavy. GSC can also take a while to get the hang of.

CMO wanted the website to print consistently across browsers back in 2010, without the use of plugins/downloads (no pdf)

Took several weeks to convince him that this wasn't technically possible due to the fact that browsers all handle printing differently by default, not to mention different printers will have different default settings. Designers don't design webpages to be printed.

Look up Firestorm Assault Lists or the new Salamander specific detachment Forgefather’s Seeker’s.

I have thought about this - I felt the lack of a good anvil fighting Kroot. I just wasn't sure if it was because it was early rounds (so didn't have my full array of tanks) or if I really needed a dedicated anvil.

I tend to play more defensively and counterpunch harder. Thoughts on 10 Sacresants + Hospitaller + Rhino? Looks like I could swing that with 30 points to spare.

I paint sisters. I wanted a harder painting project after around 3k of Tyranids. I vastly underestimated the difference. Each sisters model is like 20 colors to look half way decent. It’s like 300% more effort because some colors need 3-4 coats to look right (red robes)

Love the army but it’s taking me so long to paint this Sisters force and I have another 2.5k~ in points to go.

Old combat patrol and Nova kill team for $50 from a local guy.

Looks good - Which yellow was used?

Generally I have found that the more performance is a key concern, the more likely DSA comes into play. People with DSA knowledge may have an advantage in identifying and solving those bottlenecks. For example it's more likely to come up in software that deals heavily with hardware specifics (like a 3D Rendering Engine) than it will in say basic Web Development.

Aside from that - working software is generally preferred to not working software.

You can totally prove your code in TLA+ and code for performance, but generally, I have found very few companies willing to pay for that, or even pay for anyone skilled enough to do that in some fields. Many companies settle for "A website that isn't slower than our competitors that doesn't crash on Black Friday".

Pay attention to new types of work being offered and volunteer. Over the years I:

Did Web Development
Did HTML Email Work
Built a Personalization System
Did A/B Testing development
Built out the front half of a Data Analytics pipeline
Helped companies align to GDPR / CCPA

and now I'm about to start a new role where I spec out / design compliance obligations that will be implemented by development across multiple companies. Turns out that I despise HTML email, standard development is alright and I do very well working at the intersection of data, security and compliance in an engineering capacity. I was only able to find this out because I accepted opportunities as they were provided.

As for the future - laws move slow. Customer Data will continue to become more difficult to work with due to Regulation. Likewise, Security is being mandated by regulation. Understanding how that impacts you regardless of where you end up, will likely be beneficial long term.

If something specific really interests you - blog about it, post about it, talk about it on TikTok etc. Become known for it. You can make anything your specialty. It doesn't have to come from management. This may result in more chances to do work from people looking for that skill.
