In infosec, there's the "I want to protect others from harm" people, and then there's the "I like having power over others" people, and it is usually *really easy* to tell which is which, and most of the community is the latter type
@kelledy It's certainly something I've observed elsewhere as well, but the infosec community is the only one where I can speak about it from extensive experience :)
@joepie91 This is true of pretty much every "helper" profession: doctors, nurses, priests, social workers. The only thing that changes is the distribution.
