When someone says backend development is just "storing data in databases," they're technically correct in the same way a house fire is just "rapid oxidation." Here we have a masterclass in security anti-patterns: hardcoded credentials that would make any pentester weep with joy, a database connection string called "secure" (narrator: it wasn't), and the pièce de résistance—storing login credentials in a plaintext file called logins.txt. Because nothing says "enterprise-grade security" like concatenating passwords and usernames before yeeting them into a text file. The variable names are doing more heavy lifting than the actual security here. At least they're being honest with that "safe" password assignment.
