Your getMoney() method is hardcoded to return null and :umad:
You not gonna automate programming nor the support for the systems that programming produces.
Think about it, automated programming means self sufficient machines/ai, which we are nowhere near close to
Your getMoney() method is hardcoded to return null and :umad:

They're lazy and site on their ass and browse the web all day and the old ass baby boomers aren't tech savvy enough to say shyt.
Well, I don't know who you are talking about. I don't make 6 figures and am a hard worker. If anyone is making 6 figures and just sitting around all day, they will get fired soon enough. Usually, a 6-figure job requires even more time. They expect you to work more.

Never too late breh. Security has many sectors within it, you could go a million different ways. AppSec, NetSec, Compliance, Risk, Governance, Auditing, etc. etc. Take the CISSP as a good all around intro to Security, covers 10 domains. (or Security+, which is entry level) I don't have a CISSP personally, but I am more hands on and technical. I have my CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) and working on my OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional).

Conferences like DefCon, DerbyCon, BlackHat are great for networking and getting introduced to people who can help grow your career. Volunteer to edit tech papers, articles, books, help with a GitHub project (if you can code) etc. are all ways to get working in the Security sector. Just some of the things I have done to get to where I am at.....I am 36, been in security for 4 years and eat great brehs. :lawd:

Enjoy it while you can breh. I got 10 years in IT and about 6 in security and I'm throwing it in the bushes to become an entrepreneur. I guess i got burned out.

Started an IT repair company and will be launching a staffing company with my business partner next month. I also used to have a consulting company (I might start that back up one day).

I don't want to do the work anymore, but I'm def gonna heavily use technology in every business venture I have.

Lol did this nikka say self writing programs? :mjlol:

Who's gonna manage the code? Who's gonna implement it on whatever platform? Who's gonna make sure the software stays up to date?

Man y'all nikkas is funny :heh:

My boy is actually working on this very type of AI. Two PhDs in computer science and math. His first dissertation was actually about self-correcting engineering programs. Some of the simulations they run just by inputting parameters are crazy. One of the results was a program to maintain network connection speeds through interference. Crazy shyt, but there are people working on this. Its why I laugh when people think something like self-driving cars will never happen.

You'll be surprised by how many big companies actually have people on that sit around all day. It usually has to do with how unorganized a company is, and boy are a lot of companies in disarray.

I guess I haven't worked with one. The companies I've worked for, the higher your level, the higher the expectations. There were goofballs who had a higher position than me who were kind of stupid, but at least they didn't sit around doing nothing.
