Oh don't get me wrong. I agree with you. Software security — actually scratch that — security in general is harder in 2014 and by correlation more challenging to boot. I meant that security research used to be more fun before Assange, Snowden, and the NSA came along. I still love security and have become better at it throughout the years, but the ambience of conspiracy and the out of touch with reality legal ramifications and obstacles make me long for the days when "security was fun". Or maybe I'm just old now and I'm just reminiscing the good ol days.
