   @anna it doesn't exist but I'd love to see someone write How To Learn About Security And Not Turn Into An Asshole

     @anna I think the way you don't turn into an asshole is instead of learning about security to show off how cool you are at pwning all the n00bs, you use it to try to figure out how to make technology safer for everyone by default

     @cwebber @anna a couple of the mozilla fellows in my cohort were working on, essentially, "computer security without fear" -- how do you teach computer security practice without relying on fear, but rather on a sense of community support and safety? Seems highly related

     @darius @anna Yes, I think that is related! Security for community health, rather than security to make you "beat out" your opponents

     @cwebber @anna
     Bruce Scheier's books on information security are, or at least used to be, respected. In my humble opinion his writing style is friendly and practical and specifically opposed to the arrogance and rudeness some security professionals have.
