The RSS feed should be full content now. I figured it out!

Thanks!! 🙏

You’re not the first to ask about a full-content RSS feed. I can probably figure that out, but I do think the best way to “experience” the newsletter/my site in general is directly on the site 😅. Thanks for taking a look though! 🧡

Thanks for taking a look! If you want to learn more about the IndieWeb, I wrote something up a while back about it. https://shellsharks.com/indieweb. Cheers!

Hey! There was some Cloudflare related dependency issues a few days ago causing my icon pack to load slowly or not at all. I set the .js for those icons to defer so that wouldn’t be an issue any more (had to learn about that the hard way). Let me know if you’re still seeing weird load times.

Titles in the security world are kinda a mess. Generally I just look for “-security engineer” titles. So in this case you would probably find “Cloud Security Engineer” or something. Look for security engineer roles that have anything cloud-related in the job req and you are probably on to something.

Hard to say, especially in this market. But, if you have some coding chops (from DevOps experience) or you have some knowledge of native cloud security tooling (from a Cloud role), then you would definitely have a leg up in getting a security engineer or netsec role (consider that a lot of modern “networks” are largely cloud networks).

I’d wager most people do. But you certainly hear about all the people who spend their free time doin more cyberz. I am definitely guilty of this a lot of the time. But I’ve been working harder to disconnect more. Being a parent helps with this as it’s pretty mandatory.

I wrote a bit about the pitfall(s) of “Certification Paths” - https://shellsharks.com/notes/2023/11/14/stop-worrying-about-certification-paths.

This is coming from someone who has A LOT of certs, and I’ve learned over this time that it’s just not the right way to think about progressing career-wise. You can read more though about certs and some thoughts on what you could take here too https://shellsharks.com/training-retrospective#what-certification-or-training-should-i-take.

Never heard of 'em. I’d say most of those things, while not necessarily “scams”, are probably not worth the time you would put into them. That said, if you have free time and they pay, then it is what it is. If you go down that path, make sure to report back!

Greed. Capitalism. AI speculation. Other stuff …

Big consulting firms (e.g. Accenture) and the like. Government jobs too if you’re close to where those are. Outside that, it’s very random which companies have such openings. The bigger the company the more likely it would have a higher diversity of roles and seniority openings.

Omg. I too have developed an “affinity” for coffee as of late. Have been thinking of cutting back. There’s always tomorrow right?

I’m a KubeNoob so gotta give you props regardless 😅

Y’all doin’ cool stuff. Rust, K8s, GH automation - 💪 @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

I always recommend Wild West Hack’n Fest. Cool location and the con is pretty good.
