Mark Dutot writes as a working IT engineer on internet security, offering specific advice on password complexity, and shares a genuinely personal, decades old story about witnessing an unexplained aerial phenomenon in the late seventies or early eighties, a memory he says he stopped retelling because so few people ever believed him.
His travel posts on Sri Lanka carry the specificity of someone who has actually spent time there, from the correct etiquette of removing your shoes before entering a home and letting hosts eat first, to naming Hikkaduwa specifically as a surfing town about three hours from Colombo with skilled local tailors. A post on random acts of kindness lists ten small, concrete actions, buying a stranger's coffee, holding a door, offering your seat, treated as real habits to build rather than abstract kindness.
The leadership self-assessment post poses ten specific yes or no questions about how you actually show up for a team, more concrete than most leadership content.
Nothing else here comes as close to real, lived experience as the unexplained aerial phenomenon story and the Sri Lanka etiquette advice.
