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. darkreading.com/risk/twitter…

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.

Replying to @ProperCloth
@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.
Repair facility scarcity and parts delays makes @Tesla ownership potentially painful as a primary vech. I am glad I have a truck; my 3 week old Tesla that was rear ended will take 4 months to repair. Consider this when buying, incentive to rep certify is sorely needed @elonmusk

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.
