The classic "we need someone who knows everything" job posting. Just a casual list of requirements that spans the entire tech universe—from SQL to NoSQL, frontend to backend, mobile to desktop, and oh yeah, throw in some machine learning while you're at it. This is what happens when HR thinks "full-stack developer" means "omnipotent tech deity who works for mid-level salary." The red highlight is basically saying "in summary, please be an entire engineering department with 15 years of experience in technologies that have existed for 5." Bonus points for "1 day per week" at the bottom. Sure, rebuild our entire digital infrastructure every Tuesday. No problem.

When a site tells you "your new password can't be the same as your old password," they're supposed to be comparing hashed values, not storing your actual password in plaintext. If they know what your old password was , they've already failed Security 101. The fact that a Fortune 500 company did this is like finding out your bank keeps everyone's money in a shoebox under the receptionist's desk. Ten years in tech and I'm still amazed at how many multi-billion dollar companies can't figure out basic password security.

Nothing triggers that sinking feeling quite like a company announcing "security is our highest priority" right after they've lost your data. It's corporate speak for "we just discovered our password was 'password123' and now your SSN is being sold on the dark web for $2.50." The classic GTA "Ah shit, here we go again" reaction is perfect—it's the digital equivalent of watching your house burn down while the fire department hands out flyers about fire safety.
