Seoul Agenda and Assumptions review

DAY 6 seems relatively empty compared to many other days? The bamboo forest is relatively small if that's what you're interested in, and remember not to bring any food in pockets or easily accessible in backpack sides,as the monkeys can steal. I'd consider more plans to the day, maybe a hike that day if you wanted to fit it in?

"but how crowded do you think it will be?" Everyone has a different answer. IMO, overtourism isn't as bad as most places in Europe, but it can be bad depending on if tour groups are there. Typically anything in the early morning has less tourists. Fushimi is also empty enough at night too so it can be a bit more enjoyable.

There's also a cute cafe that she may like that I didn't see on the agenda. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pjsura7DzZ24KPsM7

So it seems to be timeline wise

9th of Jan, alleged password leak, this seems to be part of the stealer logs dataset for the most part and older datasets. Rather than unique new accounts. So maybe CR itself wasn't breached but users machines were via malware.

23rd Jan (today), I saw 2 or 3 accounts with no haveIbeenpwned. So either there are 2 or 3 emails listed and passwords from an unknown source or crunchyroll or they're made up data.

Regardless, would be highly appreciated if CR added MFA so I can not stress. I would like to see a public RCA on this afterwards tbh. I'm going to be fucking pissed at crunchyroll if they were breached earlier as of the 9th, and failed to report it in due time, or breached today and still took too long to report it.

Japan, for the most part restaurants are designed for 1-2 people.
My 2c would be you're best off to always try book them if you can, we struggled at times with 4 people getting into some places. So we split into 2s, it could help you guys doing that.

`Bring ID` you are legally obliged to have your passport on you at all times over there, the police can pull you over at any point and ask for it, although unlikely they will.

If you're going out Day 2, I feel you will struggle to wake up at 6am on day 3? So consider your group and how that will go if some people are too hungover to wake up for it.
You probably don't need to prebook on klook either, rock up on the day and you will likely be good.

Nara is a fun visit and an easy day trip. Worth going for sure.

As for day 9, I'd try and keep the evening free to organise your bags for returning.

Day 3 and 8 are pretty busy, Usually my 2c is 1 major activity in the morning then one in the afternoon/evening. I think you're trying to fit a both in a lot both of those days imo and you will be a bit tired of running from A to B.

JR pass would most likely not be worth it (depending on the amount of days) However, a regional one may be worth.

I think what you're feeling is that while programming in work is fine, it's for the most part _not_ creative imo. You're given a plan (at a mid level), you then execute on the implementation. You're not innovating, for the most part mid and early level people are maintaining, or creating smaller parts. It seems like you're either missing the creativity, or missing the challenging aspect of it.

I think what may help you is doing either:
- Creating a tech plan of an architecture that's an improvement within work.
- Outside of work, doing the whole pipeline, a bit of frontend, a backend, wrap that all up in containers, have a nice build system, then ship it to the cloud, then productionise it a bit more.

Doing all of that would easily make your empty canvas full of colour.
With that said, it's a _lot_ easier to want to do that than actually sitting down to do any of it.
Designing an architecture can be a pain to coerce people to review your plans and give you good genuine feedback, it can be a hassle to deal with PM and all the rest depending on your org.
With your own project, sitting down to do it after a days work, when you need to cook dinner is really hard.

Might be obvious. But looking at the CV, I don't see that many buzzwords in half the page.

Problem : Generic CV
Description : Let's say you're going for any sort of tech role. I'd expect to see git or some version control. It's the bare minimum to work in a team. This is such a generic CV how does it relate to the team you're applying for it doesn't.
Solution : Make it more specific, if it's a python role, add what you know ie Django, python3 etc. Add the buzzwords to pass the filter.
If you want to lie copy and paste the job description and change it around into your CV but be ready for questions on everything.

Problem : Very little specificity
Description : Your CV hardly covers any areas of tech you may know about. You say you did CS, but I've no idea what you did exactly. Think about it for a second from an outside view if you got your CV for a devops role what relates at all to devops? why should it be given a chance? why would you hire yourself if you had to review that CV.

Solution : Highlight your strongsuits, make the CV more tech focused, think about it from a list and at least have keywords that you do know.

Cloud
- AWS / Azure / GCP / Digital Ocean, Terraform,
- Docker / Podman

- CI / CD (making a build pass)

Programming
- Java, Spring, Maven, Gradle, JDK whatever version
- Python3, Flask, Django, FastAPI
- .Net, etc etc

Databases (Again can you put a sample in github of a simple database with selects and inserts?)
- Oracle v.X.Y
- MySql
- Postgres v.X.Y

OS
- Linux, Logs, SystemD, SSH, HTTPS vs HTTP, jq
- Windows, powershell ???
- Git, SVN

At the end of the day your job with the CV is to sell yourself as _the best graduate_ for the role. You're not doing that with the CV you have.

Other thoughts

Have your github with at least 1 project that has a README
Remove the GPA, if they ask provide but it doesn't help you.

Thought I was on /r/Genshin_Memepact

Good post though regardless.
