I completely agree with you!
I think all us people in the cybersecurity space are cranky ;)
But it also brings up a good point. I feel bad quality User Experience is a critical cause for bugs and misconfigurations. And UX isn't just "look pretty" - it's about optimized and simplified workflows.
> most "standard" big company security engineers just use ready made tools
I've worked for vendors and have funded vendors, so I might be biased, but ready-made tools can be helpful.
The issue is if you are using tools without understanding the underlying architecture or design of your platform.
If you're just a script-monkey and only concentrating on the what, security automation is going to take your job away (and is already in the pipeline in the IR world as we speak)
