What could possibly go wrong? :D
I do think this is an interesting effort, and I've met Chris Lynch in his DDS capacity. It's terribly interesting to see a Senior Executive government employee with Silicon Valley cred, who wears hoodies/jeans/sneakers to meet Admirals and Generals, who are (in terms of rank equivalency) his peers. Literally the first time I've seen someone knuckle-bump an Admiral rather than shake his hand after a meeting.
I think there is some value in this culture-clash/disruption, but I also know of some government-employed very skillful hackers who resent the assumption that non-government hackers are by-default more skillful than them.
