GitHub Advanced Security Certification Preparation Part 7

Enough with the CodeQL madness !! it took forever and guess what? I’m still not even done with it... “The certification isn’t just about CodeQL” => took me a while to realize that (my bad besties), but here we are.

What actually got me back in gear? Believe it or not, i know my medium account is not famous unfortunately but someone commented on one of my GHAS articles asking if I was going to continue the series… Thank you Nonaaa ❤

That one message? It seriously made my day. It reminded me that people actually read what I write.

Anyways no more over-complicating things like i did with CodeQL and my life. I’m keeping it simple, practical, and focused on what matters for the certification. I’ll even throw in (at the end of thisd article) some actual questions I encountered during my GHAS exam.
