I've never done appsec stuff but, since that seems to be what everyone's looking for, I figured I probably aught to learn a bit about it.

This has exposed me to the horrors of "modern build systems" and... holy shit, are the devs alright? I thought my scripts were convoluted and overly complex. No wonder everything's hopelessly insecure, you've built systems that make even the most rudimentary integrity checks all but impossible.

I'm sure there are reasons for all of this, possibly even good ones, but I haven't been able to learn enough to start seeing them because my brain keeps trying to eat itself!
