🐝 Hive Five 125 - When you lie for a living, AI dark ages, and AppSecSchool

Hi friends,

Greetings from the hive!

I hope you had a good weekend. I’ve spent some time thinking about alter egos.

Adopting an alter ego can be beneficial when facing (intense) pressure, as it can assist in enhancing your performance.

The gist of it is that you take everything you’re not good at, and manifest that into an alternative version of yourself. Now, when it’s time to shine, your alter ego will take over.

Beyonce did it with Sasha Fierce, Kobe Bryant was the Black Mamba, and Marshall Mathers has Slim Shady.

What is the name of your alter ego?

Let’s take this week by swarm!
