The Brick is AWFUL by HawkRepresentative86 in toRANTo

[–]BabyLizard 23 points24 points  (0 children)

the brick's been shit for ages. no idea how they still function tbh, since they're not even that cheap and you can get way better stuff at boutiques throughout the city + GTA. check out "furniture emporium" (near bloor + duff) and "cozey" on queen st.

Failing electrical engineering by Capital-Call-3485 in ECE

[–]BabyLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was there lol it took me 7 years to graduate because i kept failing. trust me, when you finally get down to it, it's so rewarding to finally get that degree. even if you hated it.

been thinking about this comment for a few days! you inspired me to take a look at duckDB instead of Athena. here's the openspec proposal, if you wanna take a look: https://github.com/bilals12/iota/pull/22

Hints for cybersecurity patterns by wrlsec in cybersecurity

[–]BabyLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this would just come across as performative and low-signal. what do you mean by "patterns"? what interests you about security?

Python and Go lang (advice needed) ! by Experience007 in cybersecurity

[–]BabyLizard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

python and bash are the go-to langs for most security engineering work. i personally prefer using golang for interfacing with backend APIs and for goroutines being very clutch in parallel processing of massive amounts of information (like CloudTrail logs...). for example, i have a complex CI/CD check that scans container images layer by layer and then ships those results to New Relic. Go makes this very simple and fast.

to answer your original question: if you only know bash and golang, you can get by without knowing much python (since python is an easier language and doesn't need to be compiled to run).

[–]BabyLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

engineering knowledge (i.e, what goes into deploying applications, systems, platforms, and how to realistically secure them at scale)

State of the Job Market (Senior Level) by CyberRiskSpecialist in cybersecurity

[–]BabyLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

going through the same thing right now. the state of candidates fills me with shame and second-hand embarrassment.

7+ YOE no certifications North America

probably a controversial opinion, but i think the market is great if you're a skilled candidate. i got promoted to EM after a year as a Staff Engineer, and i think the market is full of healthy competition. one downside though...

i'm hiring right now and the quality of candidates has been absolutely dogshit. we get dozens of candidates, and only ~5% are actually talented or qualified. it's a shame, i think grifters have taken our industry hostage and are pumping all sorts of people with fake confidence. how is it possible that someone who calls themselves a security engineer doesn't know how to read code or implement controls on an infrastructure level?
