@mubix I’ve been hearing more about ISTS from 0xTal0n in the Midwest CCDC Red Team discord, and I totally agree with your frustrations on getting more companies recruiting students from these competitions. Some of these students are extremely impressive. Speaking as a former CCDC competitor and current volunteer, I think generally speaking companies have a way of thinking where “oh it’s just students doing some weekend competitions” and don’t understand how much work goes into training for the comps. I’ve spent the past 3 years trying to make the competition better for students. I’m hoping to be able to take the improvements made, and showcase some work they did because there’s some that are batshit nuts (in the best ways!)
