MODERATORS
 

Lawyers, platform moderation, and SEO have wiped it out. What's left is boring drivel whose only purpose is to sell you a product or a course or avoid a lawsuit. I realize some have moved to private groups and there are still sites if you look hard enough. But is that enough?

Federation feels like the right place to bring that culture back rather than let it die or has that ship sailed?

The whole tech security industry is kind of pathetic. Full of posers who strut around with few skills and are unable to think along the lines of making tradeoffs for business results.

Open with disdain. Bold move, cotton.

Not untrue, but still a bit harsh.

and are unable to think along the lines of making tradeoffs for business results.

Sacrificing security "for business results" ? That doesn't sound like security. It sounds like anti-security.

How long have you been a project manager? Do you like it ?

you think "project managers" are the ones who champion the balance of security vs business results? Thats not their job, at all, nor are they typically equipped with enough influence to push on that. This comment shows that you dont work within the system I am complaining about. Its Sr leaders, product people, or sometimes architects who push that balance.
