The Elephant In The Room

The ethical hacker paradox in full glory. You've gained access to the entire kingdom—admin privileges, database credentials, the whole shebang—but instead of wreaking havoc, you're just sending a Discord message like "hey, I'm in." That smug face says it all: "I could drop all your tables with a single command, but I'm just gonna sip my cigarette and let you know your security is made of wet paper towels." The true power move isn't destroying everything—it's showing restraint when you absolutely don't have to.

Ever start a casual conversation about databases at a party and suddenly there's a PostgreSQL evangelist in your kitchen? The elephant in the room—literally. That's what happens when you mention databases around a Postgres fan. They materialize out of nowhere, tusks ready, prepared to lecture you about ACID compliance and JSON support while you're just trying to wash your dishes. The most dangerous words in tech aren't "I'll fix it in production"—they're "MySQL is fine for my needs."
