Developing robust testing frameworks that run across systems for benchmarking and broader data collection is critical for identifying vulnerabilities and proactively addressing them. — Pro Tip💡: Penetration Testing has been a growing trend in cybersecurity.

You need to manage your team's schedules. How can you use collaboration tools to make it easier?
I’ve just hired 3 brilliant Solutions Engineers who have great corporate to startup experience. They had all been working with different tools and in the market, there are new and incredible tools emerging all time. Our team must solve an optimization problem: (1) find the perfect tool, (2) the tool we are familiar with, and (3) the functional tool that everyone can work well with, given constraints like switching costs and a budget. Following a data driven process of ranking features and trade offs can help a new team decide what to use going forward. The team must select the best tool for the whole team, and stick with the decision long enough to collect data and assess if the tool is serving its intended purpose.

A wise person once said, “documentation is a love letter you write your future self.” — Pro Tip💡: LLMs are great tools for creating great documentation, from process flow diagrams to code snippets and examples that capture the logic and execution steps of your entire process. Valentine’s Day is coming up, start writing!✍🏾 ❤️
