Security is the through-line of the game; it gives us structure, incentives, little dopamine hits, and makes it so that the systems we're building reward exploration. But the game is not about security; it's about programming and interacting with complex systems.

If you're a software developer with no security domain expertise, one benefit of goofing around with Starfighter is that you'll come out knowing a lot more about software security. But it's not a tool for getting people security jobs.

It'll make a little more sense when Erin posts the game details.
