I want to be a Journey Programmer Again

Day 1 of posting to social media until I get an offensive security research job
First, I’m going to start with what I know – Windows. I need to recreate what I had access to at Microsoft, so that starts by setting up a dev environment and finding a copy of Windows System Internals, perhaps the greatest resource for learning Windows out there. My expertise is in Windows and virtualization, so I’m going to make sure I master those areas.
Next, I don’t think I want to grind coding exercises, but I do need to shake the rust off my coding skills. I think I’m going to start with some HackTheBox challenges and find some CTFs to participate in.
Finally, my long overdue goal: learn Rust. I’m not sure if this will help immediately, as I could choose to improve my knowledge of Python. But Rust was getting more and more popular in the areas of Windows I was tasked with protecting, so I need to learn what all the fuss is about with regards to memory safety.
If anyone is on a similar journey, let’s hold each other accountable in the comments! I will be sure to document any write-ups at blog.maxrenke.com (work in progress).

Full code on Github: https://github.com/wiwa/blog-code/ Hi Link to heading Recently, I finished a batch at the Recurse Center… is what I would have said if this post were written when I intended to write it (i.e. 3 months ago). My project there focused on a questionable application of CUDA (mostly irrelevant to this post), but it got me thinking more about other GPU-friendly algorithms. Instead of my Recurse project (which I hope to write about in a later post), I want to simply begin writing about technical stuff I’ve played around with.

BSSG – My journey from dynamic CMS to bash static site generator
#HackerNews #BSSG #dynamicCMS #staticSiteGenerator #webDevelopment #techJourney
Going live on the vBrownBag series today to share something a little different: my story.
Scared but Learning is about how I got into tech at nearly 40, with no CS background, and how I’ve grown in the 6 years since.
It’s personal, honest, and maybe useful too.
