You know, those kind of moments. My co-host is very clear on from his military days, like the way it worked is if there's a sit rep situation, it's not rank. If you're like the junior analyst who is writing the report, you got to be able to stand and in 30 seconds deliver the news to the commanding officer. And I don't think that we invest as much in those communication skills, which is a miss.

And we just sort of rely on the communication skills like you either have it or you don't, which I think is unfair because it means if they're not nurtured and you're highly technical, you can kind of get railroaded into like you'll always be the technical lead, but they're never really going to let you into management because you can't interface between the layers.

yeah and so if you do nurture those i think you get instead of having that skill set concentrated in to the management level i think broadly we might be able to have better communication sort of through organizations security maybe is not viewed askance as it often is like oh those are the it weirdos

Um, and then also dealing with these situations, like being able to maintain a calm head during an incident and calmly report on like, this is how we are responding to it. We remember we had this plan that we walked you through and we are at this stage of the plan and this is how we're adept. I don't know.

Yeah, I mean, look no further than the recent CrowdStrike and Windows outages for the impact on millions of people who have no idea what those companies, like what CrowdStrike is.

And you can't just say like supply chain, SDLC, kernel level update. Like what is that going to do for the person who is now stranded in the airport?

We don't do ourselves any favors by making it harder to communicate the complexity of our systems or our event. I think a lot of it starts with that awareness and then trying to empathize with where other people are coming from.
