The Certificate Chase: Udemy's Digital Participation Trophy

The Certificate Chase: Udemy's Digital Participation Trophy
EXCUSE ME WHILE I EXPOSE THE DARKEST SECRET OF THE DEVELOPER UNIVERSE! ๐Ÿ’€ The absolute TRAGEDY of spending 72 hours on a Udemy course only to discover the certificate is just a fancy JPEG that nobody in the industry gives a flying function about! Yet there we are, watching 37 hours of "How to Master React in Just 3 Days" at 1.5x speed, DESPERATELY clinging to the promise of that digital participation trophy. The validation-seeking MONSTERS we've become! And for what? So we can add another meaningless credential to our LinkedIn profile that recruiters scroll past faster than terms and conditions?! THE HORROR!

The Cybersecurity Instructor Paradox

The Cybersecurity Instructor Paradox
The eternal cybersecurity dilemma: Do you pick the instructor with "45 years experience" who supposedly "invented the term cybersecurity" (which would make them practically ancient given that the term only gained traction in the 1990s)? Or do you go with the suspiciously vague guy whose entire resume is basically "trust me bro"? Ironically, the second guy is probably the better choice. Anyone who claims to have "invented cybersecurity" is likely embellishing their credentials harder than a LinkedIn profile during job hunting season. Meanwhile, the vague instructor might actually be a reformed hacker who knows all the real tricks but can't legally disclose his past work!
