What’s good y'all!! 👋 I’m thrilled to announce the premiere of my new video tomorrow at 8:30 CST! 🎉 In this video, I’ll be sharing my experience and laying out what it takes to get into DevSecOps in 2025. Here’s what you can expect: ✅ Foundational skills: Linux, Git, networking, and programming (hint: Python is your friend!) ✅ Key concepts: Secure SDLC, CI/CD pipelines, and shifting left. ✅ Certifications: Security+ for cybersecurity foundations, CKA for Kubernetes knowledge, and cloud certs for AWS, GCP, Azure. ✅ Hands-on projects: Why building a home lab is critical to learning. I’ll also introduce the @devsecblueprint, the open-source guide for those looking to transition into DevSecOps or level up their careers. I’ll be hanging out in the comments to answer questions and chat, so if you’re serious about breaking into DevSecOps, I'll see you there! 🔥😁🚀 #DevSecOps #CloudSecurity #CareerGrowth #TheDevSecBlueprint #Cybersecurity

Yup. Once you get that query right, make a stored procedure, especially if you’ll run it daily. Speaking from experience
At face value, learning SQL isn’t hard until you get into an enterprise environment and you querying through petabytes of data. That’s why understanding the data and being able optimize queries using best practices are necessary. The more you know about the data, the easier it is to build queries.
