I understand what you are saying to a degree, however I've had more success than many colleagues due to me spending time every day to improve myself (usually technically). What you are saying is like saying some people are thin due

I just saw this the other day! This wrapper around Pandoc to make life our lifes easier (tidyr)? I just went through the process of making a markdown file to an epub before I saw this, wish I saw this earlier.

I've been a fan of Krebs for a while. He get's a lot of access and information from other hackers (that were pissed at another hacker) or security analysts. Gotta give him props though, he taught himself a lot, including learning
