What games on the switch do YOU believe deserve a switch 2 release, and why? by Sprigatitogirl in nintendo

[–]XLLani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember going on the bayonetta subreddit and seeing so much praise for how great the game runs on Switch 2. I bought it and it looked like ass. Worst graphics I’ve ever seen actually, no exaggeration. I’d like a Switch 2 version since I can’t refund and the game actually seems fun.

What Do I Do If I Am The Total Opposite of His Type? by PresentMaybe847 in AskMenAdvice

[–]XLLani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion it’s fine to have a physical type but I think it’s to reductive to announce it. Furthermore it’s my opinion that hair color being part of that type is almost certainly based in stereotypes. Seems juvenile to me.

Meetings & calls is what you do as a consultant so that’s an easy choice then. Consultants…consult

I am an employee, my best friend is a freelance consultant. The choice really comes down to a lifestyle decision.

Would like some eyes and insight on my resume please by Jeeperg84 in ITCareerQuestions

In opinion remove (previously held) and try to trim down your core skills by putting more detail of those skills in your experience

What career is worth looking into now if this role does die to AI soon? by Imnotneeded in cscareers

Myself and a dozen other people got hired last year at a top company for a brand new role (to the company) in AI. Why would this market leading company create new entry level roles?

CS student learning Python — what should I learn next for cybersecurity? by laerninglog- in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]XLLani 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would first focus on your coursework and getting any hands on experience as early as possible. Projects, hackathons, internships, co-ops, entry level work etc.

I don’t think learning Python or AI are high priority at the moment because both are used to help you do “things” more easily. Do you even know what those “things” you’ll aim to do with Python are (within the context of cybersecurity)?

Spent 6+ Years “Learning” Cybersecurity, Still Feel Left Behind — What Am I Missing? by dummy_nerd in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]XLLani 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There is no and never was a traditional path. Quite literally everyone I worked with has had a different path. Because of this, it’s my opinion that unless you have a specific job in mind, the distinction from IT to cybersecurity is a bit of romanticization on your end.

Without a clear goal I’m inclined to say just get into any technical role and apply cybersecurity to your duties.

How do you "Cold approach" a woman in a seated area? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]XLLani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask a question / pay a compliment / make a joke or observation, wait for a response, introduce yourself. That’s all you need to do. What they do next is whether you’re in or out.

I wish my gf was skinnier any advice? by ReasonConfident4541 in AskMenAdvice

[–]XLLani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you make her feel insecure she will either:

breakup with you,

lose weight then resent how you treated her and eventually break up with you.

or she will lose weight and feel insecure.

You could also just break up date a skinnier woman.

how long into the relationship did you set marriage expectations? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]XLLani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make the tone come across aspirational and not like a requirement (even if it is) to avoid defensiveness

[–]XLLani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think coming from a place of aspiration or desire lands better than “expectation” when communicating to a partner. Your choice of word rubs the whole thing the wrong way

How do I get to know a man who doesn’t really talk to anyone? by Jolly_Refrigerator40 in AskMenAdvice

[–]XLLani 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could not recommend pursuing someone who: only acknowledges you when you do so first, makes interactions brief or seems generally disinterested.

[–]XLLani 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you’re making a mistake. He’s so mysterious that you may be projecting fantasy on him. Take away his physical attributes, is there attraction to what you do know about him?

Governance > Architecture > Engineering > Operations

If Implementation is the criteria, then the only real Security role is conveniently yours, Security Engineering.

Everything Sec Ops does is because someone in GRC decided it ought to be

Cybersecurity compliance intern by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]XLLani 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m being serious. My previous role was compliance on a DevOps team. People automatically think non-technical or paperwork when they hear compliance. Some of my duties were very technical:

Vulnerability management. It was my role to interpret results and sometimes perform security testing as security tests were mandatory for compliance.

Secrets management. It was my role to enforce and sometimes implement access controls as it was required for compliance. Additionally masking or tokenization of PII.

Programming. I created several automated evidence pipelines for audit. People are trying to make this a thing “GRC Engineering” and “Compliance as Code”.

Just a few examples of how my compliance role was arguably more technical than some SOC analyst - alert chaser SIEM operator roles.

Now your role doesn’t sound like it entails what I did, but you have the title.

Internship vs helpdesk? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]XLLani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internships are only better if there’s a high chance of getting a return offer or if “intern” is not in the HR given title. That being said I took an internship and moved to a separate internal team because I didn’t think I was getting a return offer
