So you’ve decided to dive into the glorious chaos that is network and cybersecurity engineering. And now you’re asking yourself: “Should I get a new laptop?”“Do I need triple monitors?”“Would an RGB keyboard help me hack faster?” Let’s clear that up real quick. A New Computer Just Looks Cool — That’s It Listen, a shiny new computer, ultrawide monitors, and

Here’s the deal: every time I take on a new topic—networking, cybersecurity, Python, how to survive a data analysis without summoning demons—I do something that feels almost rebellious. I buy a For Dummies book.Yes, on purpose. Not because I think I’m dumb. Not because I collect yellow covers like Pokémon cards.
Becoming a network and cybersecurity engineer sounds cool until you realize it mostly involves staring at broken things, talking to your devices like they’re sentient, and Googling the same command over and over because somehow, it still isn’t working. So why do I post about those failures? Because let’s face it—success is boring. “Look at me, I configured a switch
Look, I’m not gonna lie—when people start throwing around terms like “subnetting,” “containerization,” or “multi-threaded asynchronous event loops,” I nod like I get it… then Google it in the bathroom five minutes later. Because let’s be real:I’m not the smartest dude in the room.But I do show up like I’m trying to win an Olympic gold medal in “Effort.” My
