    Isekai is a popular genre of manga and anime involving a character being reborn in another world, or more recently as some weird item or monster. Often this is initiated by the character dying. (See “truck-kun”).

    In this scenario, after incorrectly pronouncing ASCII, the American character encoding standard, as isekai, the speaker is hit by an IBM truck (a company famous for its early advances in computing, among other things), and is reborn around the time they had market dominance in personal computers.

    I don’t think IBM had much of anything to do with the creation or popularization of the ASCII standard, but memes can’t all be perfectly accurate.

    Hope this helps!



  • I’m a SOC Analyst in my mid 20s.

    I did a boot camp, it got me a job. BUT I already had a degree, though in a completely unrelated field. For people just out of college age like me, that degree requirement was much more about showing you’re capable of committing to something than it was about specific knowledge.

    You’re going to need to get certifications no matter what you do. My boot camp prepared me for Sec+ and CySA+, but you could 100% do that on your own.

    At the end of the day, it’s going to come down to how much time/money you’re willing to invest. If you’re able to get a degree without significant hardship, I’d do that. There’s so much value to education, no matter the subject.

    If you’ve got less money and time than that, consider a boot camp. I had an amazing time in mine, and the schedules are often designed for working adults. My class had people of all ages, though the ones with some previous interests/hobbies in IT definitely got the most out of it.

    Feel free to DM me, mentoring and networking is a huge part of cyber!
