The recording of my "Let's Talk About Mental Health" talk from #RSECon25 is now online. The audio quality isn't great, but this is the full, extended discussion of what I've been up to on my @softwaresaved.bsky.social fellowship.

I came back from #RSECon25 with Covid. Not the nicest of swag to bring back home. But today my medicine arrived. And for those of you who are not originally from South Africa ... it is biltong. And, biltong fixes everything. So I should be up and about again soon.
