I just click butttons#
I just click buttons has been my way to move forward through seemingly complex situations rather than overcomplicating them; it’s my version of Dori’s “just keep swimming”, my HS wrestling coach’s version of “just put on your pants one leg at a time” or whoever said “just put one foot in front of the other” (I think that was my drill sergeant)
hackIDLE is where I capture most of my digital garden of open notes, ideas, and research related to all things security and tech
