In high-school, I got suspended a number of times for playing around with the school computers and stuff lol.

We didn’t grow up with a lot of money, so I didn’t get to play with fancy systems until school.

The things that I got in trouble for in school are now the same things that I make a living on; protecting apps from younger versions of me lol.

Some colleagues asked me before “but who would be dumb enough to try and log into a sensitive system?”.

My reply would be a naive 16 year old high schooler who doesn’t realize what they are doing, or the skill set that they may harness.
