I work in security so have technical expertise in that space - the traditional 'hacker' - but I don't primarily sell myself as technical in business.
I'm here because I like the technical detail, I want to stay up to date with the technical detail, and I want to improve my skills in this area as a generalist.
I quite often find that the technical discussion here ends up either over my head or beyond my interest, but I'm more likely to find something insightful, useful, or just straight up interesting when existing around here than when existing in other 'lower' level forums.
What I really like is finding a 'gem' of a comment that might quite incidentally make the penny drop on something I've sort-of understood for a while.
And beyond that, I find the moderation and general community around here to be the least toxic I've seen of basically any other place on the internet.
