Tech Brandon

Hey folks, some personal news. I’m leaving Microsoft. It’s been a privilege to work here, and I’m incredibly grateful for the people I’ve worked with, the customers I’ve learned from, and the support so many of you have shown me along the way. I’m now starting out on my own and chasing a dream I’ve had for a long time: building software that makes security more practical, accessible, and useful for the people doing the work every day. Why now? With all the change happening around us, I feel like new possibilities are opening up. I want to spend this next chapter building things I care deeply about, solving problems that matter, and doing work that brings me joy. I’m excited. Nervous. Grateful. My newsletters, podcast, Maester and other tools will all be part of this next chapter, and I’ll share more in the coming weeks. Thank you for being part of the journey so far. I’m looking forward to building this next chapter with your support.

I may need an intervention... I'm pretty sure I just said "user-based service accounts are better than service principals, actually"... and in the given context, it was 100% true Service Principals have some really dumb limitations that make user accounts a better fit 🥴
