"Ideas that are hoarded help no one. Success follows generosity." -@JamesClear
After a really long time only focused on manual web security stuff, almost everything has started to feel like a QA checklist. There are definitely people doing novel research and dropping crazy bugs, but I think a lot of the big stepping stones require people to build really…
