Email: "Hi Soatok—want to be a cybersecurity superhero?" To either die young or live long enough to become the villain? Hard pass.

it's a really sad thing when an industry that advertises for people willing to self-identify as "rockstars" and "superheroes" goes Pikachu-face when its heroes behave like chauvinistic narcissists.
Tech Companies: "We want rock stars" Rock-star Coders: [belittle other disciplines, insult junior coders, harass people in minority groups] Tech Companies: "Wait not like that"

One thing I like to say on this topic is, Arrowhead (where I work) avoids "rock-star" employees. We favor people who fit in with the kind, helpful, and knowledgeable dynamic at the studio. A solid-enough skillset can be built on if paired with a friendly attitude. Hubris can't.

Quite honestly, it's one of the few instances I've seen in the industry where "social fit" is a meaningful hiring term and not just a dodge to excuse not hiring straight white tech-bros. Everyone here's a bit weird, but we all support each other.

And the second-order effects *also* suck. People outside the industry end up equating job titles, skill sets, and technologies with chauvinism, which makes pragmatic solidarity difficult.

Even within the industry, there's a weird focus on titles. Or at least a sort of equating of one's self-worth with pay grade, when it should only equate to one's worth to the company (yet all too often, it doesn't).
