thank you!! this website was made loooong ago before gpt3 was even a thing lol (saying this because people thought it was vibecoded lol), the design of it brings me joy and i wouldn't change it for anything

i agree but this is why journalists and the media pick up on this - i'm doing the technical writeup, other reputable sources do the normie stuff
also while yes i agree that it could raise questions about "is this serious?" to be honest i believe my track record in the field is enough to outweigh the design of my site. i designed this website when i was a teenager, many years ago, to express my vibe and soul, and i would much rather it stay that way even if it makes it seem less serious

author here. currently in touch with persona's CEO as mentioned on twitter, part 2 and 3 coming soon.
i understand the criticism on the design of the site but it has no place here on hackernews. the content is what matters. i designed my website to be an experience rather than sanitized white on black minimalist slop, whether you like it or not is completely fair, then just use reading mode in your browser.

author here. the irony is enigma protector's documentation literally explains how to add runtime checks to your payload. they just... didn't read it
