❤️ I just started at Lovable. 5 things I've been thinking about as I'm onboarding.

You're shipping from day one. The question is whether you understand what you're building into. Five things I focus on in parallel with the build, so I don't lock in the wrong decisions early.

💬 Build vs. Buy: We Did Both. Here's What We Learned (RSAC 2026 Talk Summary)

We cycled through four GRC tools in four years before we built our own. The exercises that made us better builders are the same ones that make you a better buyer.

⚙️ GRC plays PvE when everyone else in Security plays PvP

GRC has the budget, the executive access, and the cross-functional visibility. It uses all of it to farm faster instead of leading the team to victory.
