Chat, I have to do a weird rant opinion thingy and I hope someone understand what I'm saying. I've noticed a strange phenomena where people who grew up poor have this weird mentality like, they feel they're not good enough to not be poor? I was "poor" growing up, not poor-poor living in a shack, but money was definitely tight and sometimes dinner sucked. Anyway, I've met TONS of people who come from lower class families and lives, and who act scared to try to pivot into cybersecurity, or computer-science in general. I don't know if it's self-esteem, or some weird internal thingie on classism, I don't know. Maybe I sound crazy. Maybe someone smarter than me can convey the idea better. But it 100% happens. I see genuinely intelligent people, definitely capable of performing the type of work I do, end up doing construction or working a dead-end job somewhere and struggling financially and hating their lives because they're not intellectually stimulated. They could do so much more ... but they don't.

@zodttd I'll second that. Feels like the list of people and companies you can trust is shrinking (even with tons of new security companies popping up every day). @HackingDave, @cantcomputer, @HackingLZ, and the teams at @TrustedSec and @Binary_Defense are top on that list. #gamechanger
