I'm always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I'm just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.

I met a guy at a bar one night who was just starting his studies in cyber security. I've been doing it for years now and he was excited to hear all of my experiences, good and bad.
We entered a few CTFs together, but I'm not usually on the offensive side so he carried me a bit in the early challenges and we had to tap out when we got to the harder ones.
I haven't seen him in a while. I should text him.
I find that texting someone something positive is usually well received. "Hey, person, been a while. I was telling someone about that fun time at blah-blah and it reminded me of you. how are things?"
