isimlukon Show HN: Security Compliance in Context (I am starting a side project)

Hello,

I have been engineer in the security compliance domain for a good while. And I have grown increasingly disillusioned by the number of standards, frameworks, policies, requirements and certifications. The information space is so big that even professionals in the space cannot know everything. So, I have decided to become a librarian and to create a website that would put these things in a context and allow engineers to get a quick reference what IA-8.2, APO10.04, BP28(R13), CCI-001494, SR 7.6, A.9.1.2, CIP-003-8 R4.2, PR.DS-5, or SRG-OS-000256-GPOS-00097 mean.

Hope someone will find it useful.

However, You can still have downward spiral even in case "everyone is talking/preparing for coming crisis". Imagine this:

- China going finally bust

- honkong peg to dolar broken (financial companies there going bust)

- australia mining slowdown and property market bust

- australia banking woes

Even though there are money on the sidelines, you can have crisis and even more money on the sidelines during few fearful quarters.

isimlukon Burnout is real – how to avoid it

No. Problem is with jira and agile.

Majority of managers will always be mediocre. But previously, managers without tool just let the developers do the job. Nowdays, mediocre managers have industry standard tool to make everyone life terrible and destroy the product by accumulating bad decisions founded on jira/agile metrics.

Also, jira and agile gives management ability to be extremely shorter oriented in their reasoning - that is major factor changing dynamic in the team.

> But that would cut into C-suite bonuses and dividends.

I beg to differ. I think, the mixture of work items as you describe is solely motivated on fear that employees may produce less if not under 8hours control in open plan office. The fear however may not have anything to do with the reality.

isimlukon Are You Agile Enough for Agile Management?

Agile means ability to be extremely short term oriented. I think this is extremely important, but also detrimental at the same time.
