    When I was doing my CS degree in college, I remember pivoting from software development to cybersecurity right after playing Watch Dogs. It felt pretty cool, and my reasoning was basically "Huh, this will come in handy. We will probably need Dedsec soon, better learn what I can.". I did get my first job in offensive cybersecurity, and eventually ended up as a Red Team Lead.

    I guess it's time to also finally learn Parkour and some street art. I've kind of put that off, but those two are important parts of it.
