Shoutout to all the teams feeling the tension right now—those moments when stress is high and everyone seems to be ‘PBMSing.’ 😤🤯 I t’s tough, but here’s something to remember: the darkness principle teaches us that we all operate with incomplete information, viewing the world from our own vantage points. What feels like frustration might just be different perspectives clashing, and that’s okay. 🌗 When we embrace complementarity—realizing that these differences can create a fuller picture—we start seeing the value in diverse viewpoints. Sometimes it takes stepping back to appreciate the whole, instead of getting stuck in one perspective. 🧠✨ So let’s breathe, reset, and remember that we’re all working toward the same goal. The best solutions often come from navigating through the tension and seeing things from a new angle. 🚀 #Teamwork #DarknessPrinciple #StrongerTogether #GrowthMindset #NewPerspectives

Listen folks, tackling tech debt in the world’s largest enterprise IT system is like rebuilding a busted spaceship while it's on its way to Mars—and there’s no turning back. 🚀🌌 As we migrate to the cloud, the mission is critical: modernize legacy systems, keep everything running, and ensure a smooth journey for all. Adaptability is key—because in this game, it’s evolve or lose. Did you think this was just a job? 👀 —sorry about that, it’s actually a cosmic challenge. Big shoutout to the tech warriors pushing forward every day, never giving up on us, even as they steer through the massive chaos of our legacy systems to help us break free 🚀🌊🐙🦋🪼 🙌 DON PEO Digital #TechDebtWarriors #EnterpriseIT #CloudMigration #ModernizationJourney #LegacySystemBlues #DigitalTransformation #MissionCriticalIT #FixingTheUnfixable #DogglesReturns

Thanks to yesterday’s post from Defense Unicorns, people have been asking, “How did Project Blue achieve this cATO?” Our answer is simple: By being very secure, very mindful, and by following the playbook 📖 The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Afloat Software Authorization Playbook (ASAP). ASAP provides implementation-level standard operating procedures needed to fully execute rapid and continuous authorizations with confidence and clarity. We follow this, so that we don’t submit a whole new eMASS package for each application and have users waiting 6+ months to see an application update. 😭🤢 Creating excessive workloads for your AO isn’t demure or mindful. We don’t do crazy, we do precision, and have become an authorized RAISE Platform of Choice (RPOC). By following the clear objectives and standards laid out in the playbook, we ensured a structured and effective approach to implement the Navy’s RAISE 2.0 framework🌱👨💻👩💻🧑💻🌱 This execution guide enables implementation of the authoritative RMF pathway with the mindfulness and care it deserves. No need for chaos or unnecessary complexity, just clear, deliberate action that gets the job done right. 🌐🔒 Being Cyber Ready is about being dedicated to excellence in cybersecurity. This approach allowed us to streamline the process, avoid unnecessary workloads, and deliver secure, reliable software efficiently. ⚙️🚀🪐🛸👽🛰️⭐️ #continuousATO #cyberready #mindfulcyber #cybersecurity #stayfocused #devsecops
