You may already know this, but I love technology. You know what I find more important than technology though? Education and cooperation. I hate the term idiot proof, and in tech it's used far too often. It's my opinion that tech doesn’t fail, users do, but they only fail due to bad user designs implemented, and if the user fails and you need to keep "idiot proofing" your invention, you may be targeting the wrong users. I've been seeing more and more discussions around user failures in cybersecurity, but so few articles mention the most important aspect that is often forgotten, education. Look, you can’t know what you don’t know, and berating you for not knowing will get us nowhere. My responsibility, as I see it, is to make sure that you DO know, but also make sure that you're not afraid to ask me any "idiot" question you have, because, and this is the most important point, the more mistakes you make that I learn how to fix and can later teach how to prevent, the more I grow as a person and professional. All this to say, I'm proud to be your IT, I'm proud to be your co-host, but mostly, I'm proud you trust me to be a teacher to anyone who needs it because I definitely know I would have gotten nowhere if my mentors had not been willing to be patient and understanding with me.
