The reason the good faith seniors on here are posting that the junior / mid level market is bad (it is) is because we have watched it crash in real time and a lotta of us are dealing with serious fallout as both hiring managers or mentors.
It's genuinely a good faith warning. It's not like, "don't get into the field we love". It's just that for a really long time you could get into cybersecurity with no degree and no IT experience because the demand was so high. And schools, influencers, and parents still play it off that it's like that. That people can work full time remote and make 80k entry salary.
It's not. It hasn't been for a couple years. We've been hit by "professionalizing" and oversaturation of graduates. Can you still get in with a sec+, a kali box and a dream? Maybe, if you really meet the right people and get lucky.
Pragmatically though, that won't be the case for 99.9% of young people now, and if we care at all we need to counter the "everything is rosy" message people are using to sell boot camps. We are getting hundreds of cybersecurity grads and laid off professionals with work rights applying for positions.
How can organizations even take the time to look beyond that at hundreds more juniors with no degree, criminal convictions, a GED, needing a' v sponsor, etc?

You really need to take it seriously and make yourself a top candidate. And these days to be competitive you typically need a bachelors, certs, and some hands on IT work experience. You need a very good professional network.
That's not true of every case. People will get lucky.
Or they'll have a security clearance or live in the right remote place for an in person only job. It happens.
Not often. The best thing we can do is try to enforce that they need to work seriously hard and have solid professional credentials.
TLDR we aren't all assholes; some of us are trying to save 20yos from falling for Uncle Bob putting them in a bootcamp to make an easy six figures.

GenAI tooling is weird. It’s “just” an intervention. Because it’s a tool. Any tool introduction is an intervention. Which means they work the same way any intervention work:

1. Understand the preconditions and culture norms required for success
2. Set people up for success
3. Respond to feedback

Explaining the concept of OT security to IT security staff and scaring them when I say "you have to build security AROUND EOL devices, don't upgrade the device and call it a day" brings me joy because I feed off the energy of their confused faces

Always plug your space heater into a wall outlet, not a power strip or extension cord. Many power strips and extension cords are not designed to handle the power needs of a heater. The strips/cords will meltdown and start fires. Many people learning this for the first time thanks to this local icon.

AWS raises GPU prices 15% on a Saturday, hopes you weren't paying attention An anomaly or the beginning of a new trend? My bet's on the latter I've been tracking AWS for a long time, with a specific emphasis on pricing. "What happens if AWS hikes prices" has always been something of a boogeyman, trotted out as a hypothetical to urge folks to avoid taking dependencies on a given provider.…

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege has been compromised (again). Social media is filled with players complaining about being banned for "67 days", a reference to the "Six Seven" meme.

I have a much more optimistic take right now: tech has massive massive cultural problems but it did before AI. An explosion of *active learning* is potentially a really positive thing
