Lack of skin in the game (quite literally, here) will always lead to terrible outcomes.

Are they *also* reading the Sabotage manual?

These days, having eggs says you have connections, not just coin. Real wealth and power, not just fleeting financial freedom.

As someone that does "red teaming" professionally, I know the point is to leave the thing being tested *better* than how I found it. I may have over-indexed on that choice of terminology, perhaps, as I felt it carried an undeserved negative connotation; we're seeing a flat-out attack.

Thanks.

Apologies if it landed off, I was not intending to be pedantic. I think we agree the results are negative.

I was reflecting on a difference of intentions and outcomes between the two concepts, as current efforts aren't an attempt to improve an existing system, but attack, destroy, and replace it.

@steveklabnik.com respectfully, red teaming implies a desire to future-proof the system so it’s more resilient to the types of tests performed, should they be attempted “for real”.

Absent an intent to improve the system, it’s just an attack.

Only had the gateway version, still need to source the full experience.
