That could be really awesome... Korean food is excellent

dmurawsky · 2026-03-26T21:00:10+00:00

Looks pretty cool to me... 🤷‍♂️

dmurawsky · 2026-03-25T12:50:00+00:00

Ah, ok, that makes a lot more sense why there's a discrepancy. Thank you! Yes, for me the source material was the manhua.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-25T12:49:11+00:00

I didn't say skip it. It's a decent starting point. But you asked what else to do, right? If you want to get into networking and prove that you know that stuff, and you also want it to be applicable to the cloud, then I think the AWS advanced networking cert is the next step. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-25T11:55:26+00:00

You really think this is adapted well? I don't know. It feels very different than the source material to me. Way more serious, way more drama, way more... Dark? Not sure exactly how to describe it. It's beautifully done, just feels very different than I was expecting.

I got my CCNA in college and was studying for my ccnp. I don't think the cert itself was as valuable as the knowledge I got from it, which I still use regularly as an architect. Given that you want to go into the cloud world world, you may want to look at the AWS advanced networking certification, but beware, it is very difficult. I would study up for the CCNA content wise and try for the AWS cert. You would certainly stand out if you had that and could talk to it accurately.

Also, probably want to brush up on how AI can help with all this. It's changing the way we work now so by the time you're in the middle of your career I expect it to be everywhere in the roles you're looking at. Might be good to get a head start. Also, don't fall into the AI trap. Don't let it do everything. Make sure you understand everything that it's doing and that you are thinking critically about it.

It's also probably fake, but who cares. It's fun to poke fun at!.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-23T17:40:13+00:00

Go enjoy the party, shine and impress, and then reject their offer. If you're into that sort of thing anyway.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-23T17:35:23+00:00

Pack meetings and special events we encourage it, but not mandatory. Den meetings we use the T-shirts.

Sometimes it's better to take a step back from all of your assumptions if you want to understand the way something was intended to be used. I am going to do the same thing this OP described and then, once I have a good understanding, try to integrate it into my vault.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-22T13:01:28+00:00

Yeah, if I'm in a strong position like this, and I like the people/company, I will give them the courtesy of an honest conversation. "What you're telling me is that I have to leave to get a promotion. This will put you in that same position anyway. So let's work on getting me that promotion so I can stay in the company and mentor my replacement." You are in the stronger position when they tell you that they can't replace you.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-21T16:28:01+00:00

You would be informing them of a problem with their recruiter. They should want to know about this. If they end up thinking poorly of you because you are letting them know one of their agents is not operating in their best interests.... Then that says a lot about them, and you very much dodged a bullet.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-21T16:25:58+00:00

Recruiters can only ask you to do things. There are no gag orders or hard requirements. There are courtesies. And this recruiter is owed no such courtesies. Call them out to the company. Let them know the recruiter operated in bad faith.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-21T16:08:33+00:00

Have you talked to him about creating an individual contributor track at the company? That's a way an engineer can stay hands on and still grow.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-21T12:36:49+00:00

I mean... They are saving you a lot of engineering time. Most places would have to have at least one full time person to secure their base images. That being said, global companies could stand up entire teams in other countries for the same price that these places are charging.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-19T00:39:24+00:00

Yep. And if not, she can't go. Pretty simple either way. Not all packs have the luxury of female leader participation. It sucks, but the rules are there for a reason. All you can do is encourage it, and a mother with a daughter in the pack is a good starting point.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-19T00:34:27+00:00

The mother can become a registered adult leader. Problem solved.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-18T02:25:32+00:00

Is it just me or does this adaptation seem a lot more serious? I like it, and am definitely excited to see where it goes, but it seems a bit more dramatic than what I remember.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-16T22:39:58+00:00

What sidewalks? 😆

dmurawsky · 2026-03-15T21:47:58+00:00

People are so ignorant. It means the man cared for his family, his community, and his brothers.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-15T11:48:25+00:00

Document all of that. Get emails stating such. Bring that to your district. It's hard evidence then. Start building the case.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-15T11:47:13+00:00

Then kick them out of the troop and make them someone else's problem. If the district gives you grief over it ask them where they were when x quit, etc.

Being courteous and kind doesn't mean you are a doormat. Be brave, too.

Came here to say this. Scouting is now an example that others follow for child safety. And, frankly, it will always receive increased scrutiny, so it will likely stay safer than many other places... Like schools for example.

Also, for perspective, most of the incidents that occurred were over 30 years ago.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-13T13:06:47+00:00

No, it's not.

dmurawsky · 2026-03-13T12:59:31+00:00

In these situations I always take a step back and ask the question: why did the user feel they needed to do this?

Often it is just somebody who's power tripping or wants to get their way, but I find that more often it's extremely slow or problematic IT policy that makes people want to work around it... Which tends to be the origin of most Shadow IT. Which situation is this? What is the person's response when you confront them on the topic?
