🚀 Week 1: This Is Best — Why Not This?
Tanish Jain🔥 Why I Chose This Path
I'm not just learning random tech skills. I’ve chosen a clear path — Cybersecurity & DevSecOps as my main career and FAANG/Big Tech roles as my backup.
My goal? To secure a high-paying job with real skills, not just theory. This is the roadmap, and Week 1 is done.

cd,ls,chmod,ps,kill,grep, etc.Understood file permissions, processes, system structure, and user management.
Practiced using the terminal daily (Ubuntu).
✅ 2. Shell Scripting — Basics Done
Wrote simple bash scripts to automate basic tasks.
Practiced variables, loops, and conditionals in Bash.
Built my first automation script (will update on GitHub soon 😉).
✅ 3. SQL — Completed
Covered SQL basics:
SELECT,WHERE,JOIN,GROUP BY,INSERT,UPDATE.Practiced queries with sample datasets.

Focus beats randomness: Learning with a career goal in mind keeps me motivated.
Cybersecurity needs solid Linux & scripting knowledge — glad I started here.
Write it, do it, log it: Keeping this blog holds me accountable.
