I mean, it's still a fairly common pattern to use the l-value yielded by the assignment operator in for-loops in C.

I'd tend to agree. There are enough barriers to training large models without artificially increase them just because the largest players can afford it.
I think elsewhere it was mentioned that there's a 3-character limit on the urls, perhaps fp-langs?
Actually, I seem to be able login now. Thanks!
My 2 cents: Cybersecurity is definitely better as a secondary field. Having some pre-existing knowledge that you can leverage in your cybersec career can put you in a unique position.
I moved into cybersec from embedded software development, for example.
I think your designer experience could be a big advantage if you use it. Not sure what kind of designer you were specifically, but if you have User Interface design experience or similar then you could have a unique perspective (among cybersec folks) when it comes to user interaction, social engineering, etc. If you were a more general systems designer, same goes for understanding and breaking down large systems, etc.
Point is, definitely keep in the back of your mind the question of how you can combine what you're learning with your past experience.
That said, I do think some general computer science knowledge would be helpful to you. I'd recommend you watch some lectures on general CS and try to learn a language like Python, Ruby, etc. That background will be hugely helpful for providing a thread of context so that you have a solid foundation for security stuff.
There are so many corners of cybersecurity, and the unifying mindset that overlaps between all of them isn't even specific to technology per se, so you can definitely find your niche.
