Currently Hacking On
Mostly recently in my endless stream of project ideas, I created an MVP to hack Tableau Server by exploiting loopholes in their security and API, which took me roughly one night: https://hackersandslackers.com/hostile-extraction-of-tableau-server-data/
Tomorrow will bring something similarly ridiculous and ambitious.
