You install an app to check traffic
And you give it access to your location, contacts, and calendar

It’s not convenience
It’s a detailed map of your life they sell without you noticing

Privacy isn’t a luxury, it’s a choice you make every day

The mistake most beginners make?
They try to learn everything about cyber.

That focus is what gets you hired.

Your resume doesn’t need 10 certs.
It needs 1 cert, 1–2 projects you can explain clearly, and a layout that makes your skills obvious in 6 seconds.

Spot on.
Solving + visibility = revenue.
Most founders underestimate the second part.

Mastering marketing, partnerships, and positioning is just as important as solving the problem itself.

$ tree -L 2 /etc

This lists files and directories inside /etc, going 2 levels deep.

Great for exploring configuration layouts quickly.
