O(n) Authentication: When Your Login System Is Also A Performance Test

The function loops through ALL USERS to find one with matching credentials instead of using a proper query. The comment is the chef's kiss: "This only works because there are not many users." It's like saying "my car doesn't need brakes because I don't drive fast." Bonus security nightmare: they're storing password hashes but comparing them directly instead of hashing the input password first. This authentication is basically a time bomb wrapped in spaghetti code!

The Great Software Obesity Crisis

Remember when developers were optimization wizards who could cram entire games into kilobytes? Now we've got frameworks that need a small data center just to print "Hello World." The left doge is the chad programmer of '96 flexing on fitting Pokémon Red into a mere 512kB cartridge—an actual miracle of code efficiency. Meanwhile, modern devs (right doge) are having existential crises because their JavaScript framework with 237 dependencies needs a gigabyte of RAM to display two words on a screen. Progress!

Z-Index: Nuclear Option Activated

Frontend developers using reasonable z-index values? Nah. Setting it to 9999999 because that element better stay on top or so help me... It's like bringing a nuclear warhead to a knife fight, but hey, at least nothing's gonna overlap your dropdown menu now. Somewhere, a CSS purist just felt a disturbance in the force.
