Formerly at kCura/Relativity, security. I do application penetration testing for hire these days. Happy to chat about application security, programming, and ham radio. My conversations about agriculture are not that interesting.
Security: https://ciexinc.com/ Of particular interest are the solarwinds articles at https://ciexinc.com/blog/solarwinds/index.html Old very fun projects: https://ciex-software.com
“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.”
Beware the anxiety industrial complex.
Also giving METR limited time and visibility clearly limited the discovery of what was really going on.
The talk was wonderful.

When I was CSO at Relativity, I conducted security awareness training for all, and gave each one a copy of Cuckoo’s Egg.
To further answer why I would disobey a direct instruction is that I presume those hiring me expect me to produce solutions to problems--have a problem solving attitude. A direct instruction of that sort is contrary to that.

So my next gig was writing a compiler on a team of three of us. It was highly successful for its time.
I agree that understanding how to write a compiler is pretty essential for computering.
