  • Depends on the role and company you’re applying for but I’d say if you’re going for something entry level or if you have no experience they help.

    I know some helpdesk places near me require A+, NET+, and SEC+ at hire or within the first 6 months. Whereas I’m a small business IT manager and I look at those certs as bonuses for entry or mid level positions. I’m way more interested in your work experience than how many certs you have.




  • Man I saw this earlier and it ruined my day.

    Context: This is from Electro Harmonix andMike Matthews is the founder of the company and founded it in the 60s. They’re one of the biggest names in the business and have made tons of iconic guitar effects. I can 100% guarantee you’ve heard sounds from their effects in the music you listen to.

    To say I’m disappointed is an understatement since EHX invented my favorite effect. This song is primarily written about an event where he got beat up by Union picketers (that may have had Mob connections) in '81 but everything about this video is fucking gross. The way it’s edited to make the Union look like antagonists, the use of the word “thugs” (dog whistle much?) in the description, the fucking title…

    There’s so many better ways to criticize corrupt unions or write music about an event that affected you personally. Putting this out on EHX’s channel ensures I’m never buying their pedals again.
