Accidental AppSec Hero of the Shared Monorepo
Description
A grainy office-scene meme shows an older man in a dark suit shaking hands with a younger, uneasy-looking man in a white shirt, striped tie, and blue waist pouch. Bold white outlined text over the suited man reads "The AppSec officer thanking me for solving other teams Vulnerabilities". Matching text over the younger man reads "Me not knowing other teams had code in that repo". The humor comes from a developer unknowingly crossing team ownership boundaries in a shared repository and receiving security credit for fixes whose organizational blast radius they never understood.

The monorepo's security strategy is simple: nobody knows the ownership boundaries, so everybody patches everything.
