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!

Yo Dawg, I Heard You Like Filters

I see we've discovered the elusive "filterception" in the wild. Some brilliant mind decided to filter the filters with a filter that filters filters. And they even helpfully commented "// filter" at the end – you know, in case the five other instances of "filter" weren't clear enough. This is the coding equivalent of saying "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" and expecting it to make sense. Somewhere, a code reviewer is staring at their screen, questioning their career choices.
