i'm one of these developers who found myself doing a lot of security-oriented devops work. how do i get away from compliance? i hate checking boxes, feels like it creates some pointless work sometimes. compliance alone makes me never want to do cybersecurity but i enjoy the architecture stuff and thinking about threats

Everyone does. It doesn't actually help reduce tangible risk, but it helps you understand the operational and liability aspect of cybersecurity which is critical as well.

> compliance alone makes me never want to do cybersecurity

Compliance =/= Cybersecurity. If you work in an organization where security actually means compliance, then leave.

Honestly, it's region and industry dependent. If you are east coast, transition into a JPMC or GS tier bank (yes, banks are bleeding edge security personas).

If you are west coast, it shouldn't be difficult for a SRE/DevOps/Cloud type to become a SWE or Solutions Engineer at a cybersecurity company.

If you are in Europe, get an H1B and leave. I literally helped sponsor 2 O-1s today from European cybersecurity founders who wanted to leave becuase of subpar terms and bureaucracy.

in 5th grade, i was able to access and read the anarchist cookbook. thanks to the internet. so idk

i recently used gpt for the first time in several months (i'm a daily claude user) and didn't find this at all. it is most certainly trying to pull you into engagement with how it ends each response. "if you want, i could tell you about this thing that's relevant to what you are discussing and tease just enough so that you addictively answer yes"

"morals of the general public" helps lead to "more aggressive privacy laws"

i'm sure there is some sorta root user on that system if you go digging far enough?? or am i just ignorant

ooo what plugins does a forester need? (just curious cuz forestry is an interest of mine)

my partner is working on a piece of software to predict late frosting for a data science company (it kills your seedling plantations, if you are into that sort of thing, i don't but sometimes the client wants it) so i was considering adding that to qgis as the data is available freely.

love this!! thanks for sharing. this might help me a lot.

he adds an insane amount of signal. some folks just can't look at the light and that's ok!

i very much appreciate your reporting on AI, please don't stop
