Seems like you started a reply before my toned down edit. Apologies for the harshness. I can understand it as a way to explore the problem space more and probably as a funnel to upsell other devops services.

I also get that products, and people, have to get a start somewhere - unfortunately scammers and mal actors look similar. I figured it was worth raising for others to consider, but did so near the bottom on the comment chain rather than top level so as to not derail discussion.

Edit: fighting autocorrect, detail -> derail
