The prime mistake is believing that a degree qualifies you for anything.
Everyone with this mentality is about to be very unhappy—especially when AI has 100,000 times your education and never gets tired, sick, or wants a new job.

She is not wrong. A new grad should be able to find a job in their field.
But it’s all about networking especially when you’re starting out!
Would you take a tech support job as your first role?

Word of caution on @Cloudflare, there is a business logic issue where automatically assigned NS can be incorrect while the customer also cannot change them, which results in a complete outage. The domain will not verify and even Pro support for a crit is approaching 3 days.

Historic context is a deleted zone reinstated may have NS reissued. Then the domain will need to be reverified. This means if new NS are changed by auto-assignment the domain will be unable to be verified, while having incorrect NS, resulting in a full outage.

Being able to code is an extremely beneficial skill, nay superpower, even for those focused on red team/pen test activities 🫥

Not a good look, @Twitter, especially after the other privacy and compliance leadership... Sometimes no specific statement says more.

If our mind is not peaceful and tamed, no matter how marvelous the external circumstances are, we will be burdened by frights, hopes, and fears. With a tamed mind, we will enjoy wealth or poverty, health or sickness; we can even die happily.

While I lament I'm not at #hackersummercamp this time (new, very busy role) I'm so happy to see all my good friends having such a fun time at #blackhat2022 and #DEFCON. Next year -- promise.

@ProperCloth is, without reservation, awesome. Their clothing is super high quality but what really sets them apart is their customer service. I highly recommend giving them a look.

While not my motivation (seriously pleased with them) they have a referral program, so here’s my link: propercloth.com/i/uzk4u041k
This is a fantastic thread from @jhaddix on the topic from both a direct AND fully comprehensive perspective across stakeholders -- read it.

There are a multitude of ways to be positively involved in the #Ukraine crisis, if you're sitting this out entirely then shame on you.
Context is I live in Alabama, which has no service centers. Of one small and one large authorized repair facility, the one in Birmingham has a 300 car backlog. My three week old to the day Tesla was hit and it's taken a month to even tear down for inspection.

There doesn't seem to be a large enough incentive to become Tesla certified and the process is thankfully rigorous. What this means for buyers however, is they may well be out of a car for months longer than any other manufacturer. Be prepared. Love my car of course.
