"Cybersecurity" as a distinct career path was a huge mistake for our industry. For example, the following reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1r72sm9/security_wants_less_security/
I see shit like this all the time. People int he industry that have learned the language but don't know what it means. They've never run a system, a network, or coded anything themselves. They just went through cybersecurity education but have no real context for the things they learned.
