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!

New To Rust: The Borrow Checker Experience

Rust's borrow checker is like that strict parent who treats their kids differently. If you're coming from C/C++ where you could casually throw pointers around like confetti, the borrow checker gently pats your head: "Oh dear, gorgeous, let me help you avoid those memory leaks." But dare you come from Python or JavaScript thinking you can just assign variables willy-nilly? "YOU DONKEY! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE TRYING TO USE THIS VARIABLE TWICE?!" Nothing humbles a high-level programmer faster than Rust screaming about ownership while your code refuses to compile for the 47th time.

The Semicolon Hunt: Sleep Is For The Weak

Expectation: Writing elegant code with perfect structure and original logic. Reality: WHEEEZE *frantically searching through 2000 lines of code at 3am* "I FORGOR SEMICOLON" And then there's that one missing semicolon that keeps you awake for 4 days straight while your non-programmer friends think you're being dramatic. No, Chad, this isn't like when you "missed her" - this is psychological warfare between me and a punctuation mark that Satan himself invented.

This Is A Certified Fang Moment

The ultimate tech interview gauntlet: survive 16 mini-interviews, 2 background checks, and 4 programming tests only to be rewarded with... centering a div. Classic FANG move! Nothing says "welcome to the big leagues" like immediately facing CSS's final boss. Congrats on your $250k salary package—hope you remembered how to use display: flex and justify-content: center without Googling it!
