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!

Type Script Safety

TypeScript promises type safety but then gives us the any type - basically a backdoor that lets you smuggle in whatever garbage you want. The cat's horrified expression is every senior dev watching junior devs slap any on everything to make TypeScript errors go away. "TypeScript: JS with syntax for types" *looks inside* "any" - congratulations, you've defeated the entire purpose of using TypeScript in the first place!

The Great Backend-Frontend Blame Transfer

The classic developer blame game in its natural habitat! The backend dev secretly passes a note with their broken code to the frontend dev, who opens it only to find the dreaded "500 Internal Server Error." The frontend dev's face says it all—pure rage at being handed a server problem they can't fix but will absolutely get blamed for when users start complaining. It's like ordering a pizza and receiving an empty box with a note saying "we're out of ingredients, you figure it out." The eternal backend-frontend relationship summarized in two panels of pure frustration.
