 CTF challenges become a commonplace. The only solution is to scrap the entire
 project and rewrite it from scratch.
 
-The bad news: quality rewrites rarely happen, because the (proprietary) vibe-coders
-are proud of large amounts of code. They think they understand the simplicity
-in the code, thus there's no need to rewrite it. They think of themselves as
-masterminds, understanding what others can never hope to grasp. To these types,
