Welcome to the vergecast, the flagship podcast of left wing propaganda
In all seriousness though, this is one of the podcasts I tune in to religiously. It’s just too fun and serves as a great high level of “what’s up in big tech” even when my brain is mush.
I think there were 0 instances of Quora being useful when I search for things. At this point I just ignore Quora results completely, just because chances are whatever is on there are just shills and word salad people.
Double that, no engagement I’ve been a part of involved less than 3 days of report writing after, potentially, a week of actual work and 2 weeks worth of scope discussion and expectation setting.
From my experience, all of this is mostly done remotely now, SOC / cybersecurity / threat intelligence analyst is probably the title you are looking for.
And it’s boring as fuck, most of the things are already set up, all alerting in your log aggregators, SIEMs and SOARs, playbooks for days, nearly 0 agency, just watch the feed, spot stuff and execute like a robot.
That’s being said, it’s where a lot of security engineers start, and if you get through this you may actually get to the part that is more interesting and requires actual experience and knowledge.
But imho you are far better off getting into security via software development / sysadmin /devops routes, it’s just way more interesting that way.
One time I’ve tried to do it and it is not fun. I guess I’ll stick with pleb init.vim for now.
Give Linux a chance, it is fun!
The vast majority of people do not care about their privacy in the slightest. This is the sad truth we need to cope with.
Bacon sandwiches are fine as long as it’s not ultra processed bread and stuff. Embrace the bacon. Zuck the zuck.
Tbh the idea does sound interesting, especially if there’s a way to do Shamir’s secret sharing on top of the encrypted snapshot or something. Cause I’m not too worried with exposing my stuff to the internet, as I at least partially do that for a living, but rather make sure I do not existentially send all my family’s documents in plaintext to some stranger on the internet.
The website uses VH instead of SVH for vertical positioning. That’s interesting.
In terms of how to learn web development, it’s a long winding complicated process. I’d suggest to learn HTML, CSS and vanilla JS, then going with React and TS. Once you go through basic courses / documentation on those, you can try making some proper full fledged websites.
The x.ai website looks very simple and can be recreated (in terms of visuals) with only HTML and CSS.
The way to learn if you have no idea where to start is to start learning, get a bunch of courses on Udemy, or just watch YouTube, or maybe there are some courses on Coursera.
Until you at least have a solid grasp of what is a website and what are the basics of creating them, I’d strongly advise not to bother with trying to recreate anything.
