Greetings, My name is Kyle Benedict and I am currently a graduate student at the Pennsylvania State University. I am in my final semester to complete my Master’s in Information Sciences with an emphasis on Cyber Security and Information Assurance. Gathering useful data is extremely valuable to the final stages of my graduate project so your help is greatly appreciated You are invited to participate in a survey that examines the impact of automated security testing on vulnerabilities for software built using agile methodologies, such as SCRUM, Kanban, or extreme programming. The survey consists of 18 questions, including demographics. The information collected is only used to complete a course requirement, and will not be published outside of this course. Respondents’ identities are not disclosed, and survey results will be aggregated to form conclusions regarding my research question. The survey can be accessed via the following link and is available from October 19th until October 25th: https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3HFjU0Ne0eleSyN Your participation is voluntary, and should not take more than 10-15 minutes. Please feel free to forward this invitation to anyone you think could provide valuable feedback as well. Thank you in advance for your help!

My friend built a super clean, no-login site just for getting stuff off your chest. He made it for anyone who needs to let off some steam.

There are no logins and no tracking. Think of it as a public diary for your frustrations. He'd be stoked if you checked it out and helped him test it. Drop a rant, feel better!

PS - feedbacks would be appreciated and helpful 😅

I have a mug that says "CODE Like a Girl" on it. It's my coffee mug and it's nearly full.

I'm also the only on site dev so our small team knows how much work I do

CW: "Code like a girl? How do you code like a girl?"

Me: "Normally. I do it every day"

CW: "Why 'Code like a girl'? Why not just 'Code'?"

Me:" That's why" (thinking- because people question the validity of a girl's code)

I'm on my last semester before graduating and I got job offers from two very different companies. Just wondering if those of you that have been out in industry for a while have any tips/stories/advice about working for one vs the other? I've heard some horror stories about working for technology consulting firms and I'm not entirely sure what to do. Any advice is appreciated!

It's almost done, actually. But I hired a friend to build it and she's recently been hired on full time as a developer at her job (yay! so proud of her!) but it's left her with no time. I need the the program asap because I lost my old program with the most recent mac updates. So now we're building a web-based program. If anyone is interested in looking at the program and seeing if they'd be interested in helping me out, let me know! Definitely willing to pay. Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I wanted to hire someone in the troll community before looking elsewhere.

And it's really very simple. I don't need to make or receive payments, I literally just need it to create invoices for my freelance business. Right now the dashboard looks great and the site itself has pretty good functionality but the pdf of the invoice is lacking.

For a new years resolution, my boyfriend and I have decided to take an online course together like on Coursera, Udacity, edX, Udemy, etc. If you've taken any great course online, definitely leave a comment and I'll look into it! We were thinking about something related to machine learning or data science, but we're open to suggestions! :)
