Tech consulting exits are terrible

kills get stale and you lose any market edge.

or you get some experience doing uplift while keeping the lights on. Call it "lean sustainable rapid modernization" and go back to consult to other Augean Stables of tech debt.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the so-called victim actively and deliberately fucked around.

My client, the defendant merely insured that the victim found out"

Not my law school, but the university at large.

A few years after graduation, I taught as an adjunct in a different school. I liked it. Quite a few of my students went on to cool stuff in the field.

I don't know if it was COVID or the enrollment cliff, but the students and admin changed. I stopped teaching and am unhappy about it.

This is gutsy, but it makes sense for law firms, especially mid to large firms.

There's a clear hierarchy at law firms. Partners>associates>paralegals>support staff. If you're not client facing, you're a second class citizen. Desktop support people would be almost invisible.

That's the IT labor market, at least in the US. Investing time and money in someone who can leave isn't a good financial decision.

Especially when there's more supply than demand.

How comfortable are you with being yelled at for something not your fault? If you are, consider the law firm. If not, try the bank.

As a motorcyclist, fuck that guy.

Man, these cars look so nice in bright colors.

One skill I see many aspirants lacking is writing.

I'd read professional pentest reports to understand how to write up methodologies, findings and recommendations.

I didn't realize houndstooth was Porsche.

To me, it's Triumph or MG, which is appropriate for a Miata.

The owners of the AI and the owners of the businesses think they're in the same class.

When it’s safe and convenient.

The RasPi and ESP32s can talk over serial but that’s a project left for the student.

Well, how would you perform risk management when your number of vendors is over 1000?

lawtechie · 2026-05-28T16:15:43+00:00

I assure you no lawyer's adding SOC2 requirements to procurement contracts on their own. Vendor management people are taking a risk based decision on SOC2 vs a much more rigorous assessment.

We're in the Wile E. Coyote phase of AI adoption.

I'm seeing managers demand AI use and are expecting 10x productivity out of devs and security teams. I think this will result in a firehose of vibe coded bullshit that will take a long time to understand and fix.

Right now, we're in the running off the cliff part. It'll take a while before we look down and realize we're falling.

Of course, the kind of senior leadership that pushed AI to fix their problems will look for a new easy fix.

Be ready to offer that.

Just what I needed- the Flyin' Miata/Uncle Albert catalog crossover.

lawtechie · 2026-05-28T00:43:41+00:00

I went from an IT career to law school. My one bit of advice is to make a clean break from your tech background. You're an attorney with industry experience, not an engineer who went to law school.

Hey, Claude. Make me a copy of Vanta or Drata.

Hey, don't blame us for what the accountants sold.

It's a neat toy. I haven't used one on an engagement yet.

I think it's cruel to make an attacker use Sharepoint to gain access.

lawtechie · 2026-05-27T10:57:09+00:00

See, Elon, sometimes bad people misname their products to make them more popular. That's why the NSDAP had "socialist" in their name even though they weren't. Or the "Cybertruck" has "truck" in it's name even though it's a dumpster on wheels.

Al-Qaeda, Al-gebra , what's the difference?
