18434 Will never forget it. So many good memories there

Yea. Choices have consequences

Being a self taught programmer (6502 assembly on a vic-20) All my first few jobs were basically here are the manual you’re the new (banyan vines,netware,sunos,oracle, sql server etc) expert.

My son got a infosys degree and all his jobs required additional certs. Helpng him navigate that was mind numbing

What i will say. Develop your network full stop. I got every single good fit job by references. All my shit jobs were headhunters or cold applications.

As far as tech goes. Everything is so nuanced and dependant today i feel it make everything overly complicated and harder to baseline and run. Let alone debugging.

I am sooo glad i just retired (early) and dont have the need to delve into current tech for anything now besides hobby stuff.

Well i think its a little of both. Technically i think epa overstepped its authority, but CISA is the exact place it should come from. Ideally any agency like this would work with CISA who has the mandate. Its certainly complicated when you get into an agency “making law” and theres a case in front of the supreme court now that could disrupt all of that.
