But I am kinda wondering why this brings so much attention? To me this reads like a long trip down memory lane. Is your takeaway: "if your job and your hobby are too similar, then this will lead to burnout?" Or is it "a job in infosec will lead to burnout, because infosec has certain inherent problems?"
Let's just shout "ffs, just patch yo' shit" rather than actually trying to educate people.
Let's all go to a hacking convention, and act like children and hack everything within arms reach at all times.
Let's all belittle people who don't have the same level of technical skill as us.
Let's all be arseholes to women in the field.
etc etc. that's why I took a step back, because for all the "we want to help you fix things to make the world a more secure place", the infosec industry seems to not want to help make it happen.
