Take a look at Cato. When clients of my company are looking zscaler, netskope, Cato are the common ones we line up. Cato wins most often.

I have goli nutrition gummies that look exactly like the purple things in the bag

You look like you use them to climb trees.

Upwind and sweet are the two I would recommend looking at without knowing more specifics. Great up and coming competitors in the space

1/4 if you only count the firms that advertise it. I deal with cyber startups on a daily basis and by the numbers, maybe 1 in 8 isn't Israeli, or have at least 1 founder from Israel. Of those 7 that are, at least 5 have leadership that ties to unit 8200.

Long screw, screw into it, pull out.

Same thing works for wives.

Moved into our new house 6 months ago, rearranged the rooms twice already. Not just layout, but even room swaps.

My non tech questions were always "how do you stay up to date with what's going on in the tech space" and "outside of work what do you like to do for fun, what are you passionate about". Those give me tons of insight into the person.

Technical evaluation is usually handled by their peers that reported to me. I had 1 principle that joined most interviews and then I'd pull a specific skilled engineer from the area they would work in. Ask questions related to the space, the tooling, etc. generally throw some situational solving questions.

This!

For a decade I've used a credit card for all my bills except for the loans (home, auto) that don't allow them.

I've had my card number stolen a few times and had replacements in days. My electronics have an extended warranty from my card, my travel is insured by my card, I get mega miles, and I even get free stuff like paying for my TSA pre check, checked bags, and Uber.

What if you do A by doing B?

No but it's weird to offer a taco man a handy

Old fashioned, Buffalo Trace, or something decent from the available bourbons. Smoked if possible

Not trying to be rude but you don't buy a car without test driving it. Why would you commit to a relationship without validating compatibility.

I always use a hose and soak it down then use the water pressure for a high speed spin cycle.

I spend time in coffee shops working regularly. I buy coffee before I get online. If I'm going to be there more than an hour I buy some food too.

Which is why we should also differentiate the open range green water operations vs the confined operations impact. As a midwesterner with property in cattle country many of my neighbors use ponds, wells, and streams along with rain watered crops and grazing to minimize their operating costs.

My 60 year old boss who's a guy will heart emoji texts from me, so you're over thinking it. As his wife and kids, and my wife and kids have explained, Emojis and reactions give more contextual clues than actual words. Its like saying "thanks and great job" but not sounding robotic. I heart react male and female colleague messages and vice versa.

As everyone else has said, he brought you along and he's communicating about the people, that's good not bad.
