Personally, I'm hacking on stuff again. With AI in the toolkit it feels kind of like the early 2000s in some ways: oh, I can just do stuff.

That's always been true, but moving across into the business side of things, the older I get, the better I was. This has been a breath of fresh air into that technical exploitation mindset, and I've really enjoyed it. I think a lot of people have had that same experience, especially the ones that have been around for longer.
