I kinda do. Not is a professional sense but with teens/preteens mostly. Some years ago I was linled to a chat described as filled with skiddies (I do vuln research and dev). What i found was some lids who had taught themselves Visual Basic in order to male cheats and trainers for flash games.

I stuck around helped them learn more about programming, reverse engineering, and eventually exploit development.

Over the years the group has changed but I established myself as one willing to take questions and help people learn. It took sometime to establish myself especially among that age group but I just stuck it out because I saw people willing and tryimg to learn.
