Security Nightmare Disguised As Optimization

database-memes, security-memes, optimization-memes, passwords-memes, bad-practices-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Ah yes, the classic "let's sacrifice security on the altar of optimization." This database hero just casually suggested storing all passwords in a single table with foreign keys because "users reuse passwords anyway" – reducing storage from 100GB to 3GB. What a brilliant idea! Next up: storing all user data in a public GitHub repo to save on AWS costs. Security experts aren't having panic attacks right now, they're just doing synchronized fainting as an office team-building exercise.

Select All... And Watch Your DBA Cry

Oh. My. God. The DRAMA between DBAs and developers is sending me! 💀 Developer: "I'll just grab EVERYTHING with SELECT * and sort it out later!" DBA: *literally PUSHING the developer toward a cliff* "SPECIFIC COLUMNS ONLY YOU MONSTER!!!" And this, children, is why your database queries take 8 years to run. The SELECT * wildcard is basically asking the database to hand over its entire life story when all you needed was its name and phone number. Performance? Never heard of her!

Exceling Since 1985

The trillion-dollar financial industry, with all its complex algorithms and fancy trading platforms, still ultimately depends on a bunch of spreadsheets held together by duct tape and prayers. Nothing quite captures the fragility of modern capitalism like knowing your retirement fund is probably being managed by some sleep-deprived analyst with 47 Excel tabs open, praying that their VLOOKUP doesn't break. And somewhere, a banker is explaining to investors why their sophisticated risk assessment model is actually just a spreadsheet formula created in 1998.

Different Reactions To AI-Generated Code

Left side: Buff Doge (experienced coder) casually dismisses AI tools that can't handle basic database setup. Right side: Regular Doge (noob coder) is absolutely blown away that AI generated a simple landing page in 5 minutes. The real irony? Both are using the same tool. The veteran knows its limitations while the rookie thinks they've discovered digital alchemy. Tale as old as time... or at least as old as npm.
