I was not at all popular among my "peers" in that world. I had too much common sense, and didn't make changes just to make changes. I was extremely effective, but since I didn't play by the rules I was ostracized internally.
That said, it did give me the opportunity to get the hell out of that community and back into IT/CyberSec.
In all honesty, there are absolutely good concepts and tools in that world. The issue is that the people who gravitate to that world have no ability to provide any value themselves so don't actually understand how to USE those tools properly.
Everything is a nail when all you have is an ENTIRE TOOLBOX.
