Holy… did Google Cloud really pooch a customer this hard? This basically demands a public disclosure of what actually happened.

Either Google Cloud has done something next-level horrifying, or this superannuation company is being highly misleading about their own mistake.

Bets?

Dropbox just emailed me about their breach, but they told the SEC about it six days ago.

I don’t ever want to hear them say anything about “customers come first.”

Hope exhausted years ago
but I still try.
Heart thumps on doggedly
and wants to know
if nice surprises might in time arrive,
and mind likewise. I read
to keep a lookout
unbeknownst,
or make a wild surmise. I dream
the ground I plough and plant
might even now
sprout greenery I never saw before
and not, as I expect, remain
as rolling oceans do in falling snow.

I used to have this singular focus on students writing code that they submit, and then I run test cases on the code to determine what their grade is. This is such a narrow view of what it means to be a software engineer, and I just felt that with generative AI, I’ve managed to overcome that restrictive view.

It’s an opportunity for me to assess their learning process of the whole software development [life cycle]—not just code. And I feel like my courses have opened up more and they’re much broader than they used to be. I can make students work on larger and more advanced projects.
