Oh I’m aware of paper but didn’t associate papery things with … Well paper itself I guess that’s the flaw. I wouldn’t describe a tree as having a wooden expression either!

Could someone explain the joke to me? I guess somewhere the skin of garlic is called paper? Or is there another play on words?

The only thing I’ve found on the garlic Wikipedia is the description of its skin as papery but that’s it…

Friend, there is only one kind of dumb question: those that are statements with a question marks at the end of are simply a vehicle to place a statement.

And even those are fine by me if the asking being realizes this within the discussion. (“Why are we allowing women to vote if they are that much dumber than men?” is a stupid question in my book - and even that can lead to “oh wow I always just assumed that to be true but (data/argument) made me realize that I was wrong!”. Rare but can happen…)

Because a security engineer focused on cloud would rightfully say “pod security is not my issue, I’m focused on protecting the rest of our world from each pod itself.”. With AWS as example: If they then analyze the IAM role structures and to deep into where the pod runs (e.g. shared ec2 vs eks) etc. then it would just be a matter of different focus.

Cloud security is focused on the infrastructure - looks like you’re looking for a security engineer focused on the dev side.

If they bring neither to the table then I’m with you - but I don’t see how “the cloud” is at fault here… especially for security the world as full of “following the script” people long before cloud was a thing.
