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"

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.
