@CyberSnark Sigh. I am 8 months in and still encountering Acronyms that I don’t know. Today: AMI Amazon Macine Image.

@DNewcomer See! To me that’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure.

@CyberSnark Next you have to learn to speak kubernetes.

@solm You put the line in the coconut… how am I doing?

@CyberSnark It’s part of the historical background around cyber. Egos and all that. To one up someone you have to come up with the next buzz word and convince them to use it. Then you upgrade to influencer status.

@CyberSnark When I first started back 2 years ago I took furious notes in meetings because everyone used acronyms and I didn't kwow what half the stuff was. After I'd Google everything. If someone recognized I didn't know and toom 1 sec to explain it saved me hours of searching!

@CyberSnark This is why I always use the terminology then explain it in between, so the people who doesn't know about it like people who are learning, business people, and other non-technicals can understand. Communicated technical things in non-technical words is the thing we need in cyber

@CyberSnark And be nice to your elders who first learned the ancient tongue: disk pack; CPM; token ring; edlin, and learned packet capture on Ethereal.

@runinthemud Someone laughed in my face in my first internship because I pronounced Belarus wrong. Self righteous people have to scrape the barrel to find joy.

@CyberSnark Agree! Team Cyber has language all it's own. Been in the biz a long time and I regularly hear words and tech that are new. They get added to my list to read up on!

@CyberSnark I loath acronym

@CyberSnark I get what you're saying but I want elaborate a point with it. Only not tonight. Thought I'm drunk.

@CyberSnark If it the industry was medicine, would you feel the same way about plumbers wanting to be medical technicians and blaming the doctors for treating them like liabilities for not knowing proper procedures? Think and sink, or float like ink; don't expect Hi-5s just for being there.

@CyberSnark You will spend your entire life to master cyber security and it will not be enough. To do so you need to be born around 1970's

@CyberSnark Fitting that these tweets came up next to each other on my timeline...

@CyberSnark I think there is a huge shift in motion for the Cyber community. We are getting a lot more humble and kind people joining us 🫂

@CyberSnark Says SOCtimus Prime. 😶 An industry outsider wouldn’t even know what to google out of that to find the true meaning. At least “VM” is googleable. (I agree with the sentiment though.)

@CyberSnark The other thing is if you don't have any army background it's even worse. TTPs, perimeter... army terminology was just shipped into cybersecurity
