TOR is easy enough to set up that if you know how to install a program on your computer and run it, you’re good to go. It’s not the ideal way to run TOR, and is still somewhat insecure, but can be done in a few clicks.
Back in the early 00’s, the amount of people learning how to download pirated music safely, arrange and burn a CD with it skyrocketed. Fast forward a few years and people with no real computer skills were learning how to rip and burn DVDs.
I wouldn’t underestimate the potential of people with motivation to circumvent an oppressive system.
Yeah, that is absolutely not what Shift-left is. Shift-left is essentially an implementation of TDD, and QA is still a vital component of that. I think you are right in that management used it as a scapegoat to fire people.
However, if what you are saying in the rest of your post is accurate, you need to GTFO that company, fast. It’s only going to be a matter of time before the product craters from all the vibe-coding.
