It's been about a year since the Auth0 Japanese office released a humorous, educational Anime clip about MFA where the main character is inspired by yours truly, and I am still in awe that it happened at all ✨🥰✨

You might have heard that I have pancreatic cancer. What’s new is that the bleeding is accelerating, and it’s not impossible that I might die from it - soon.
I can’t really piece together a good farewell tweet, but I also didn’t want to risk not having a chance to write any.
1/n.
As I lie in my hospital bed, receiving my nth transfusion with my beautiful wife on my side, and wondering whether the next bleeding will be my last, my message to you is “you be good. I love you” n/n
Update!
THANK YOU to SO MANY of you for your kind, inspiring, comforting, motivating messages.
I have been out of the ICU for a while, but still in the hospital - fighting to come back to baseline (eg recover kidney function, no bleeding) even before resuming the cancer fight
Today the OAuth step up authentication challenge protocol becomes RFC9470.
We now have an interoperable way for resource servers to tell clients when the authentication with which the current access token was obtained in insufficient and (crucially) allows
I would have never dreamed to enjoy the professional success I had. I had amazing years, thanks to the support of my wife and the trust my leadership(s) put in me. I am grateful for all the friends I made along the way. I love you all. 3/n
I worked very hard for most of my life. The 10th child of a janitor, I worked my ass off to pay for high school and college. I have been incredibly lucky to have the support of my parents and siblings thru all that. 2/n

Years ago I was offered a sabbatical. I refused, because I wanted to stay on top of the things I had going at work at the time.
You know what’s funny? I have no recollection of what those specific things were. But I am sure I would remember what I would have done w the time off.
Absolutely speechless. Thank you for the incredibly kind words,

I remain in serious condition, but as I do my best to fight my way into normalcy rest assured that even when I don't reply your words are read, your love is felt and, above all, reciprocated. I am blessed well beyond my wildest dreams ❤️❤️

As part of the home shutdown after my mom’s passing, today they disconnected my childhood home phone landline.
It’s the first number I had to memorize in my life. The fact that it no longer works is hitting me harder than I expected.
Today it is exactly 20 years that I have a blog.
My blog changed my life. It's how Redmond noticed me.
My unplanned move to the USA is what catapulted me into an entirely new socioeconomic bracket.
A momentous milestone, deserving a little reflection. 🧵
Working in

The more I dig in the Sign in with Apple implementation, the more I feel they treated OpenID Connect like restaurants in the USA treat Italian cuisine- some things might look like details, but that doesn't mean they aren't important
The seal on this document is 1200+ years old. The iPhone interprets it as a QR code, tho it doesn’t know what to do with it.
Profound philosophical moment, or yet another instance of link rot? 😛

After so many years living in USA, it’s kind of tricky to answer the question “where’s home?” - but when my home town gifts me sunsets like that 1, or my siblings organize me a belated party because it’s the first time we see each other since my 50th bd… it’s a little easier 🥹
The OAuth WG adopted the JWT profile for access tokens as a working group draft! Now the real work begins, but think of the prize... interoperable ATs! I am excited :)
Yay!
@auth0
released support for refresh token rotation, and updated SDKs (the SPA one in particular) to take advantage of the feature.
Say bye-bye to session cookie issues in your SPAs :D

Yesterday I was attending a 350ppl Zoom meeting while driving.
The car in front of me made me miss a green light🚦, & I let out a scream of pure, unadulterated rage😡 .
The presenter suddenly stopped and everyone in chat wondered what made Vittorio so upset. I was unmuted 😅 oops
I don’t want foldable display phones. I want displays to disappear into AR glasses or contact lenses. Can we skip the foldable bull and skip to those directly? Pretty please?

This should as illegal as a marketplace for organs are today - both disproportionately favor the people who aren’t desperate.
“Nobody forces them to” is disingenuous as best, callous at worst.

I… I don’t understand. I just sat down at a pretty fancy restaurant, dressed as the pic below plus face mask. The waiter, while placing the napkin on my lap: “excuse me, MISS”. What am I missing? 😂😅
Yes, I am drinking with friends. Before you judge me, know that today I talked in 2 panels, gave 2 interviews and restrained myself from heckling various SSI speakers 😛
Sigh. What a perfect weather today. Checking out and heading to the airport. What a lovely break it’s been! I hope to come back soon, my lovely little home town.

Whenever Uber tells me that my driver is “known for great conversation” I am strongly tempted to cancel the ride... my introvert/extrovert balance is a fragile thing.
