This is just a description of my world and perhaps how I see the security
community through my eyes, thats why "by n3td3v" is added on the end. Each
folks with have their own definition of the hacker life cycle, but I think
my description is as close to the truth as it gets.

No one fits into just one category, for example, once you get to the
mature-bie stage, your personality has merged all the different stages of
your life into one.

Like the mature-bie may still goto yahoo chat for instance (as seen in the
new-bie category) to see what folks are upto. ;) just for different reasons.

Don't pigeon hole yourself when deciding where you fit in, in the industry.
but you do fit in somewhere in my description, I can guarantee you that.
