At the top of the list, blogging about cryptography is something I do, in part, because excessive gatekeeping is counterproductive and even toxic.
See https://soatok.blog/2021/03/04/no-gates-no-keepers/ for more on the subject ^^

But it's also just... not true of me at all? I'm a dumbass quite often. I'm just not afraid to be a dumbass, nor am I in denial about my tendency to make blunders. My job title is some variant of "Security Engineer"; has been for many years now. Security Engineering is related to Safety Engineering. Both disciplines are about studying Failure. Understanding how systems fail is half of my job. The other half is a weird form of group therapy.
