baba, you have said it. You showed the type of person you are when I created my thread and started commenting here.

I have on several occasions, responded to you without sugar coating anything. Something, many of your worshippers shy away from.

The internet is there for everyone to learn every single thing they need in this uk. Remember I told you ā€œ I no fit bow down for cow because I wan chop suyaā€

Remember I told you ā€œ youā€™d wait Taya to hear my any bad news and I sail differently and shine brightly?ā€

Yeah I know. I don't want you to limit yourself that's why I didn't call it devsecops. It's a glorified appsec. However, the more technical part is the SRE/ observability and monitoring. There's one guy I know that paid for a course called practical devsecops. I just read books.


Please o, if you can help me get the name of the course tutor, I really don't like reading books as I feel its a bit 'slow'

At least three (3) people here have now shared their very thoughts on Lexusgs430's conducts and I am glad one is a naturalized British citizen (person wey see road well.)

I first came across this Lexusgs430 moniker on a Car thread years ago, had some respect for him but he's a totally different entity in this UK living thread. It's as though he wants to continually bully people and show off his citizenship... While many might keep quiet, jump and pass, I am not like that. I'll say it to his face, that's how I was made. Lexusgs430 moniker deserved to be seen for who he is.

He's also the one who called rent money dead money, almost pushing some people to see themselves as failures because they paying rent. I'm glad he shot himself in the foot and confessed he enjoyed student loans, public funds etc in his early days... Much like a grown cock preventing cockerels from growing. I like the response somebody gave on this thread last year saying something like "nobody can stop new immigrants from entering UK, the oldies should get used to it."

I am not tracking lexusgs430 or have any personal interest in him, but just as he has a right to say whatever, I have a right to challenge whatever. I'm not even asking him to stop, but he should be seen for who he is. He claims he helped people out of depression?? Is that not funny?? It's not only Lexus, the other ones who act as though they sat down with home office to draft the immigration policies too know themselves.

This thread is meant to encourage people, not discourage people and push them to depression! Come off it.
Person wey Dey form agba knower, senior stayer and longest living Nigerian in the uk. Neighbour dash am two bicycle, e no fit dash one here. And he comes to flaunt million credit cards and infinite credit score, quick to ā€œI don almost pay my mortgageā€ like say e concern my grand papa.

Baba, you no get rating.

Apart from advise (which is even available and open on the net), nothing else you get to offer anybody here.

Everyone who comes here, in due time, would get everything thatā€™s obtainable.

@lexusgs430 try dey chill

How did you come to the conclusion that his usual comment regarding "rent money as dead money" is pushing some people to see themselves as failures? Evidence on the property forum says otherwise.

Na toddler suppose Dey reason that statement.

Like I said then, come in, pay your rents , enjoy what you pay for. When time is right, youā€™d effortlessly get your mortgage.

ā€œRent money is dead moneyā€

The rent is dead money stance is meant to encourage people to channel their efforts into getting a mortgage as you can build up equity whilst paying back the loan. Damn! so many snowflakes these days.
So, you mean a Nigerian would come here, have the ability get mortgage, then continue paying rent?

I understand that Lexusgs430 finds humour in everything and some people might not like that understandable. But there is no evidence to accuse him this way. Iā€™ve been following this thread since 2022 and he has been providing lots of advice and information, things more experienced UK people wonā€™t even bother with.

His advice with getting life insurance is one I took and Iā€™m happy I did because Iā€™m almost in a bleak medical situation now.
make just wise undelete all his comments on my threads and my quotes.

I will look for it.

It's not just just app testing. It includes security architecture reviews, vuln management, threat modeling and code scanning to ensure secrets and backdoors are not left by developers. Ci/cd pipelines and workfows follows the security best practices, security requirements and maintains security hygiene. The QA team ensure code quality and functional requirements of the application. The roles are quite different but devsecops brings everybody together to avoid working in silos and enforce faster release cycles.

The best financial decisions I've made here was from what that guy said. Out of experiences,he dropped statements and anytime I am online, I will pick them. That is part of street smartness. We get the education free here and yet we are complaining. That's the education you will never get in school.
Na you wey lazy normally. So, you travel from one continent to another just to get info from Lexus of how to go about life Abi? If thatā€™s the case, then you need growing up. Information is littered all over the internet for anything you need to know. Na Una just Dey rate 1 star

Completely agree with this and similar comments by others.

I remember when I joined the thread and Lexus was exposed as the secret angel who had helped some people on the forum.
He regularly answers questions and proffers advice. Maybe it's the feeling that his advice comes from a place of comfort that irks some? Though they forget that he's gone through his own struggles in the past.

I documented my journey on Nairaland. Baba and e asslicker flood my thread claiming ā€œowners and guiders of the ukā€

Thatā€™s when I even discovered himself and his ā€œ**sl*cks.

Wheww.

Seeing CI/CD anywhere just gives me hbp for some reason. 2024 is the year to kill that fear cos I dont want to be a 'mokalik'

Defender for Cloud with ADO should be enough for some of these stuff, I believe.
I was thinking to start with Github, ADO and then go from there.

If the scanning bit is done using automated tools, why then do they make it out to be some sort of big deal?

lol, remain small before you get dragged aswel,

by the way, while some of your past comments didn't quite sit right with me (as you know truth is bitter to hear), but they were always interesting to read because they offered a different perspective. But when I reflect on them objectively, they often turn out to be spot on. Your recent comments are particularly fascinating, especially on immigration matters; they're straightforward and mostly accurate.

Oh, and interestingly enough, my first baby shares the same name as yours

Someone came in recently and got a 60k+ job. Then next thing, profiling don start.

Ignoring the fact that, thatā€™s an outlier.

How many people also get ā€œ16 years of professional experience?ā€

Even the one wey don Dey here since the days of mmetuselah no even see that kind money, not to talk of someone who just came in.

Finally, whatever stage you are in the relocation phase, enjoy every moment, grow through it and keep seeking for better welfare for yourself as much as you want.

And Mr. Knowknow, try Dey rest. Everybody go enjoy the benefits of this land in due time. If anyone needs info and tries to get it here, pass it and chill.

Bro, I see Lexusgs430 as a guy who doesn't carry the whole world on his chest, probably why he douses tensions with his jokes. Sometimes, the jokes are dry sef undecided cool. But to be candid we need people like him in our virtual spaces just like we all have people like that around us that would make us laugh while crying. So relax, sir.

His opinions are most times not entirely bad. Rent money is a dead money is what I used to convince my madam about getting a mortgage here. We calculated the rent paid in our 3 years here and we found out we were paying someone's mortgage. While I agree with you this may be difficult for new comers however it should be some sort of motivation for them.

Oga Lexus, thanks for all you do here. Please show more empathy when people share their issues. Let there be empathy In-between the jokes, sir. Same thing with aunty Zahra29 Suella grin grin

Hopefully one very nice job will come your way soon, then you will realised that you know a lot of stuffs that you will even think you are being under-utilised.
