This seems weird.. the exec in charge of cybersecurity at Microsoft, Charlie Bell, is being replaced as apparently he wants to be an individual contributor engineer (which I was) rather than an org leader.

https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2026/02/04/updates-in-two-of-our-core-priorities/@GossiTheDog I mean, I wouldn't want to be "in charge of cybersecurity" at a company bragging about how much of it's code is written by AI now.

https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2026/02/04/updates-in-two-of-our-core-priorities/I have had people tell me cybersecurity is essentially being taken out of Connect (yearly goal reviews), which was Microsoft's big commitment to Congress as part of Secure Future Initiative.
Brad Smith testified to US Congress everybody had to demonstrate what they'd done for security - but it's been watered down now to the point where it basically doesn't exist any more, I'm told. MS haven't told public about the changes.
It's one to watch, to see if things start to backslide at MS w/ cyber.

@GossiTheDog "Secure Future" being watered down is the mild and completely predictable news I need in these times.

https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2026/02/04/updates-in-two-of-our-core-priorities/@GossiTheDog could be a completely personal decision; e.g. trying to reduce stress, realized he enjoyed the other work better, etc
