Adam submitted a talk to a security conference and noticed something odd in the CFP platform. A little poking around revealed he could see data he had absolutely no business seeing. No fancy tooling.

Levi is a security engineer, not a developer. So when he needed a tool to keep up with the flood of threat intel, vendor advisories, and LLM news, he built one anyway using Claude Code as his pair programmer.
