Thanks! I'm glad you found that useful (I'm one of the mods there).

/r/netsec is no longer the smaller, more personal community it was when I started as a mod (7 years ago now?). If you're just starting out, one of the things I recommend most is finding a meetup in whatever city you live. It's hard to underestimate how useful an in-person conversation over a beer or two can be when you're early on.

I guess my advice for you would be: take your netsec team out to lunch once in a while! :-)
