Ethical hackers have written some of the worst code I’ve ever seen. They have to know a ton about the security of frameworks, networking, etc… it’s a very complex role for sure, but they are not shining beacons of software engineering quality

I agree. Their objective is not to build beautiful code but to provide a working prototype

I'm sure every single one of them is capable of writing world class code if they feel like it

Their exploits are world class and their focus is to exploit

I have seen stuff in JavaScript exploitation that I can't even scratch the surface. I feel like I have been playing piano for 15 years and I can't even understand if that a music that is playing
