I'm coining a piece of AI safety terminology that I'd like to refer to as the Bond Villain problem. As a field, AI safety heavily leverages sci-fi pretty heavily, so I figure this should be fine.

for me, a key part of getting up to speed as a new leader is meeting 1:1 each person in my new org. this takes a fair bit of time: about 50 hours at @tailscale.com, many thanks to my intrepid EA for the calendar heroics! it's worth it, though, for a few reasons: 🧵

I’ve seen some of this stuff already and it’s great. Such a treat to work with Andree and the PAM team and see them bring this capability to life.
The last few months have been a whirlwind. We’ve been heads down integrating Border0 into @tailscale.com and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built in such a short time.
Next week at TailscaleUp, we get to share it! I’ll be talking AND demo'ing PAM and what’s next.

@tef.bsky.social is 100% right here. if it breaks in CI it needs to break on the developer’s machine, and as early as possible. on-save for linters is good. post-push-after-waiting-for-CI-to-set-up is bad. be good, not bad
if it's that important, your build scripts should be breaking
if it's part of the ci / test, it's where the worst people you nkow have set up the defaults, they're terrible, and all the code is now filled with // lint:ignore around "calling await in a loop"
