Thomas, aren't you trying to make security-related products and infosec in general too "reputation-based"? Do you really think that some bad code or design or lack of theoretical background during early career should be an "out-of-profession" sentence for lifetime? Hadn't you ever made such mistakes yourself?

Yeah, whilst I generally agree with the sentiment that nobody should roll their own crypto nor use something you randomly find on the net, if nobodies creating these things, you will have no future professionals.

Good for his consulting rate, no doubt, but probably not good for society.
