Btw having been tasked with 'fixing' out of date information in those databases (pro tip: its impossible because the third parties who maintain them give not a fuck and mostly dont even speak english), its a profound sore point.
I got online in 94 and got heavy into digital warfare by 96.. but honestly tenure means fuckall at this point in the game. 16 year old Chinese kids on government issued speed know more about recreationally violating ring 0 memory than I ever will. The jesus christ comment is simply my way of conveying that reality; if Im interviewing someone and they start harping on when they logged in first, Im not hiring them 99 times out of 100. Its a tremendous red flag; I dont want to deal with egos and bad habits.
Bottom line is when you are discussing poker strat and all things culturally affiliated, Im genuinely interested and recognize Im in the presence of a legit source of truth. When you start portraying yourself as an authority on contemporary IT issues be it security or malware or whatever, which you are guilty of, and then often predicate opinions on work you did for a few weeks or months back in the early 90s, which you are guilty of, my countdown to emotional passive aggressive criticality begins in earnest.
