> if people feel restricted by having jump through hoops on unfamiliar operating systems and spend a lot of time and frustration fighting them... Then they're probably right

I completely agree with you!

I think all us people in the cybersecurity space are cranky ;)

But it also brings up a good point. I feel bad quality User Experience is a critical cause for bugs and misconfigurations. And UX isn't just "look pretty" - it's about optimized and simplified workflows.

> most "standard" big company security engineers just use ready made tools

I've worked for vendors and have funded vendors, so I might be biased, but ready-made tools can be helpful.

The issue is if you are using tools without understanding the underlying architecture or design of your platform.

If you're just a script-monkey and only concentrating on the what, security automation is going to take your job away (and is already in the pipeline in the IR world as we speak)

No worries. You yourself replied to my rant XD
