Doesn't matter how tough you are. Life will knock you to the ground, keep you there if you let it. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
@itsryanlenk@TheGBreaker Ha. That was exactly what happened to me, but in reverse. I looked in the mirror and saw my sunken in face. I was 95 pounds at 5'11, just from not eating. After I didn't recognize myself, I got to the gym and built back up to 165.
Well done sir! Keep up the good work!
@TheGBreaker I restarted at 29. Not at all. In fact you have plenty of time left. Earlier then me. Great time to start a solid fitness routine, as well. You can build a great foundation.
@mattvanswol I'll add that getting educated, getting a career, and trying to date and work towards a white picket fence appears to be illegal now.
I like the theory that the large hadron collider flung is into an alternate timeline. I personally don't remember HEB being so big in Texas.
@Palak3312@Aditya_181105 I determined to do this in 2019. Hit the grindstone, got a degree in Database Development. Incidentally landed in cybersecurity for 3 years as I continued a software development degree.
AI caught up and surpassed me, even as I had a 5 year headstart.
No one can upgrade faster.
@presen_x@Aditya_181105 And not for the better. There's zero chance of it working to humanity's benefit, imo. We have thousands of years of history to draw from when power is centralized. It doesn't turn out well for the majority.
@jahirsheikh8@Aditya_181105 Impossible, almost fictionally so, in my experience. 3,400 applications over 2.5 years, handful of interviews, one low offer that was rescinded on my birthday, almost as a mocking gesture.
The market isn't just hard; it's actively sardonic and hostile.
Saw a software engineer get laid off.
520+ LeetCode problems
1750+ contest rating
7 solid projects
2 hackathon win
Regular open source contributions
Still lost the job.
Is Computer Science getting harder than ever?
@won212@muheediva01 I don't think that's too accurate. Cybersecurity moves fast as a career. But the fundamentals rarely change. How to work an alert stays the same. Technical writing stays the same. Kill chain stays the same. Etc.
You can literally learn Entra ID and Okta for free.
You can build projects for free as well.
Create an account on both and set up SSO between them.
Create groups, experiment with group mapping and user attributes.
No excuses.
