It's a Tool
It's a Person
It's a Hypervigilance Problem

The tech industry's insistence on distinguishing between "soft skills" — caring for people — and "hard skills" — engineering rigor — is a reflection of the Cybernetics split itself. First-order thinking framed as "hard skills." Second-order thinking framed as "soft skills." This distinction, based on felt sense alone, does not hold under epistemic pressure. Neither does it within the causality-driven epistemology of the tech industry itself, in which only measurable impact is real, or as Silicon Valley likes to put it: #MoveFastAndBreakThings

Imagine Margaret Hamilton had built NASA's Apollo 11 flight computer with that mindset. History would remember a failed moon landing and dead astronauts. "Hard skills" and "soft skills" are two sides of the same coin. The care is the code and the code is the care. Hamilton — the woman who coined the term "software engineering" — understood this. Silicon Valley chose to forget.

We're watching the wine glass break in real time. 🍷

A couple more news from #InfosecurityEurope25

🎙️ These Aren’t Soft Skills — They’re Human Skills
A post–Infosecurity Europe 2025 conversation with Rob Black and Anthony D'Alton

Yes, Infosecurity Europe 2025 is behind us, but the most important conversations are still unfolding — like this one.

I (Marco Ciappelli) reconnected with Rob Black (yeah, I kicked Sean Martin, CISSP out again… temporarily 😄) and welcomed Anthony D’Alton to dive into something we all know is important but rarely define properly: so-called soft skills — or as we prefer to call them… human skills.

From communication and trust to team resilience and real-world training, this conversation is a practical look at what truly makes cybersecurity teams work — and why these “intangibles” aren’t soft at all.
