This shouldn't be understated. I went from having never run a fuzzer to having a 16-node run executing for thousands of machine hours on a somewhat unfamiliar C++ codebase with minimal effort.

Both the tool and the documentation made it easy for me jump in, identify bugs, write new test cases, implement a fix, and verify the fix passed without issue. I've mentioned it on HN before, but AFL taught me how incredibly difficult it is, even for experts (think most senior engineers at a FAANG) in the field, to write C++ without security vulnerabilities. I was even able to find and fix bugs which were previously reported but no one was able to reproduce reliably.

If there was an AFL t-shirt, I'd wear it ;-)
