I more meant the mid range engineer work to just buckle down, test, and fix things. As in, just owning and cleaning up a lot of important projects, including third party ones.

Designing the ultimate everything sanitizer with zero performance overhead would surely be impressive even at Google. Especially if it was actually adopted across the org.

But "buckle down and own it" doesn't actually prevent vulns in any sort of systematic way.

And I assure you that, despite the memes, code health efforts do end up with promos here. The org responsible for third_party and large scale code health had above average promo rates for ages.
