I’m working toward becoming an IAM Engineer by building and breaking things in a lab, not just reading books and doing cert exams.
Most IAM content teaches theory and vendor configurations. Almost nothing shows what hands-on troubleshooting actually looks like. And many people only show up after they’ve made it.
I’m sharing what I find on the way: the configurations, the failures, what didn't work as expected, etc. 🧵
Modern computer science/software engineering are good examples of this.
most of the real work involve the abstraction, logic, formal structure, etc. side of math way more than doing calculations
People don’t realize that beatmaking at that level of the industry is almost like grunt work because it’s just ideas and ideas alone don’t generate business. The “ghost” producers are tryna get placements so they bring their ideas to where the business is at.
Even still, it takes taste and instinct to elevate those ideas to potential hits and that what producers like Dr. Dre, Pharrell, or Kanye bring to the table. So even they didn’t “make the beat”, they likely turned it into a hit.
“Dr Dre doesn’t make his beats”
Listen to “Bow Down” by Westside Connection.
It’s produced by one of Dr Dre’s ghost producers, Budda
The beat is a low effort skeleton. Nobody realizes this because of Cube’s energy
If Dre “touched” it, it would sound better
@soigomaa Imagine your sight gets restored after a lifetime of blindness and they’re asking you questions about plastic shapes. I would say I don’t know what they are either…
I want to see some HOES!
A riddle from 1688 goes: "If a man born blind can feel the differences between shapes such as spheres and cubes,if given the ability, could he distinguish those objects by sight alone?" In 2003, the riddle was solved when five people had their sight restored through surgery. They could not.
People get confused about learning Linux because they think it’s a singular skill when it’s actually a platform.
You gotta look at it in layers. The top layer is basic navigation. This is where you’ll learn commands, file hierarchy, and basic operations.
The next layer is understanding how the actual system works. This is what “learning Linux” usually means for people. File permissions, processes, package management, networking, logs, etc.
The last layer is usually domain specific. You learn how to use Linux as a tool in your specific discipline.
How this clears it up for somebody.
i’ve been hiding this for years now and i think it’s time to finally come clean.
i do not know what people mean when they say “learn linux” like do you mean learn how to ls, mkdir, grep, touch etc or there’s a special “linux” skill you need to sacrifice a soul to unlock? help??
Mannnnn. Thank yall for the love. For real!!!
Yesterday I had daddy duties that came before album release celebrations. Today I got my old civic (with the brand new engine) a tour bus and some sprinters. In the trunk of my car is boxes of The Fall-Off CD’s. As a teenager I had copies of the Fayettenam Bommuh’s album that Nervous gave me to sell. I used to go up to the gas stations trying to sell the album to strangers “yo you like hip hop??” Was the beginning of the sales pitch.
When I was working on this album I had the desire to go feel that feeling again, and that’s what I’m about to do. Trunk Sale Tour 26!! I don’t know where we bout to drive to, but catch me outside! Cop a CD from me or just show love. I truly appreciate all the love and the reaction to the music.
It's funny how titles work in this industry & that's exactly why you shouldn't take them as serious depending on the company. A VP title in banking is a mid level engineer. "Senior+" roles in consulting, hospital, & government would pretty much translate to entry - mid level. Focus on the skillet and responsibilities.
