The cybersecurity community is very similar to your description. Add in a small dash of actual spying and espionage that makes everyone paranoid over what everyone knows / has and it can be very unhealthy.
It is a huge difference from the “learning to program/programming” communities. Those groups can also foster their own feelings of self-lack, but not on the scale of cyber.
- PenguinCoder 8y agoI second what you said. People want to call those in infosec paranoid, but there is also the very real risk of spying or theft or intellectual property that one can never let their guard down. It's not paranoid if it's true! This mentality is very tiring to keep up with but if you don't, you can lose badly.
