Is there a post somewhere where an expert offers suggestions to change the contest to be more acceptable?
At minimum, building web stuff involves a knowledge of subtle interactions involving security (as well as precisely how finicky crypto can be) ;) I was on the Rails security team for a while and saw this stuff first hand. We were dealing with timing attacks 10 years ago ;)

some variant "how cute, he thinks he understands security" would not be the correct response here ;) ;) ;)

didn't know you were on the security team, many apologies for the 2/3 of the document that patronised your face off :
-
and yes building web stuff requires understanding security interactions but low-level crypto is on another level of fragility imo, and knowing that isn't usually required to build a website (nor should it be!)
-
I was referring to building web infra like rails not building a website, which should of course lean on existing tools.
