What do you want to improve: design skills, CSS, or how to use a CSS framework? Pretty sure CodeAcademy has a CSS course, or Google's web.dev.
Writing CSS is one thing: composing those selectors together into something that looks good is another, in which case Bootstrap, or Material frameworks will have done the heavy lifting for you.
It's more design skills, I could do with improving everything of course but more layout, use of colour etc. at first
Tried to find a good one-stop shop for this kind of thing, but struggling because of the sheer number of concepts: stuff like grid theory; typography; colour theory; design heuristics. I've never taken a formal design course to learn how it might be taught. I thought the following might offer something, though:

No idea about Gremlin It's an Apache query language for Graph Databases, I sat through some tutorials on it when we were eyeing up AWS Neptune.

No idea about Gremlin It's an Apache query language for Graph Databases, I sat through some tutorials on it when we were eyeing up AWS Neptune. Ah. It's a better name than either "Oozie" or "Pig", I suppose. I have to be honest; I haven't done much this morning (notice in last week and all that). What I did do was an investigation into a contractor (who is leaving) and decided that he'd found a bit of software on his machine which he thought was there to monitor his activity, snoop on his desktop etc. It's actually for allowing an RDP session over a TCP tunnel to the AV agent if the standard RDP ports are blocked by a Firewall or NAT etc. It doesn't allow snooping and access to an existing desktop session only occurs with that user's permission (as per standard Windows config). Paranoid, much?

Heh, I love it when people believe that we've got nothing better to be doing with our time than spying on users.

Innit. Not only that, but we have plenty of actual ways of telling exactly what a given user is doing on their work computers (Traffic monitoring, SIEM, Syslogging, MI analytics platform), as if I need to install anything to view your actual desktop.

To be fair, it is generally worth assuming someone will look at your shit at some point. I deal with so many falsely reported HR and whistleblowing cases, it’s ridiculous.

Having issues with datafusion (Google cloud) managed to get it all plumbed in via terraform/terragrunt but the data guys can't connect to anything. Fw rules are in, done the routing and the vpc peering. No joy. Google support told me it has to be the same range as one of our subnets. Erm no, because that's already being used and hence why we peer vpcs to accommodate the different ranges.
Got a call with them tomorrow as I cannot remove some of the older failed peerings. Console is greywd out and in the cli the peerings don't exist so I can't run the gcloud commands. Well I can but obviously they don't find the peerings.
What a bloody nightmare.

I always advise people to behave as if you’re using someone else’s computer, tbh. It’s surprising how many people think that their work PC belongs to them.

So many people have their amazon (for example,) account attached to their work email. Why ffs? Gets fun when people put in SARs asking what their boss has written about them in emails. That can get tasty.

So this is a new one on me for the state of recruiters. I actually had a recruiter from my old company message me, who I had worked with as a team lead trying to find new engineers. It was for a mid level position back at the old company in fucking JavaScript. Genuinely a bot could do better.

"When you install our new system, could you import all of the data from our 15+ year old database?" "We can do that but there are a ton of reasons why you shouldn't and the process will be irreversible if you change your mind down the line. This is your chance for a fresh start and the old data isn't going anywhere anyway." "We won't change our minds, thank you!"
One month later:
"Could someone remote in and remove all of the old junk from our database?"
Having to deal with this with every install lately.

Their foothold was gained through linkedin spearphishing (again). If anyone ever asks you to provide a reference for some rando you used to work with, don’t click on anything they send you.

Today, I am mostly writing Cyber Security interview questions and preparing to interview my potential replacement. My boss has sent me the CVs of his possibles. Three of them have precisely zero actual cyber experience (for a "Senior Security Engineer" position). Three of them are asking for a fair bit more than they were paying me. This all seems rather ironic...

Its a buoyant market but, yes, the amount of 23 year old Chads applying for senior positions and wanting top bracket with a muscular 18 months experience is nuts. Our first CV sift on senior positions is 90% just filtering out graduates.

Our first CV sift on senior positions is 90% just filtering out graduates. Indeed. The internet (eg, Reddit) is full of folks (Americans?) saying "yeah, I did tech support for a year, then worked in a SOC for 2 years and now I'm on $200k" which I suspect probably helps. Although, I don't actually believe a word of it. One of these guys was working in a pawn shop until a couple of years ago. No offence, mate, but even if you're a gifted amateur, you're probably not ready for a senior role.

We had a junior CTI position open for like a year because everyone who applied for it wanted more money than the person who was going to be managing them.

I think universities also play some part in it. I think they have a tendency to egg people on to sell their courses now. I dunno. Its an odd one. Cant fault them for backing themselves but we are offering like 34k for a junior level where we would want a grad with like a year or so experience which isnt loads but they are wanting double that or more.
Its good for our internal people, tbh. We have given up on a few external vacancies and the people who have been filling in have got the job.

Cripes.
I know salaries have shot up and more senior, experienced staff can definitely pick and choose... but not to double that level for fairly junior people.
This actually explains why all the recent approaches I had came from recruitment professionals working directly for the company concerned and not from the more traditional route of approaches from contracted agents. I guess it allows them to approach who they want and have that discussion early without wasting any time or spending any money.

Youtube would have you believe anyone that works with a computer or in finance starts at $100k basic comp. It would be easy for an impressionable yoof to translate that into the UK marketplace.

Yeah, that too. If you’re always reading on Reddit that your fantasyland peers are all on $120k, you’re going to want that, too. I mean, it’s fine, whatever, it’s not my money but reality kicks in eventually.
