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!

Stringly Typed

The eternal struggle between type safety and laziness. Top panel shows a developer feeling crushed by TypeScript's rigid demands for proper interfaces and type declarations. Bottom panel reveals the forbidden salvation: "" + 5 suddenly becomes "5" and all your problems vanish like magic. After seven years as a tech lead, I've seen entire codebases held together by string concatenation and toString() calls. The technical debt grows, but hey—the sprint was completed on time! The angel of JavaScript delivers us from compiler errors with her divine message: "Just make it a string, bro. It'll work fine in production."

The Two States Of A Developer

Left side: You at 9am writing beautiful code, feeling like a programming god who just invented electricity. Right side: You at 4pm, soul crushed, wondering why your function returns undefined when you explicitly told it not to. The transformation from "I'm a genius" to "I'm considering a career in goat farming" takes exactly 7 hours.

Npm Install Malware: The Self-Destructive Curiosity

Ah, the JavaScript ecosystem's most dedicated users - people who literally type "npm install malware" and hit enter. The package has 12 weekly downloads, was last updated 9 years ago, and somehow still claims 12 victims weekly. The best part? It's ISC licensed, so you're legally permitted to destroy your own system! How thoughtful! I'm torn between admiring these developers' curiosity and questioning their survival instincts. It's like watching someone lick a frozen pole "just to see what happens" - except with their production servers.

Product Ownership 101

THE AUDACITY! You ask a SIMPLE yes/no question and these monsters hit you with a dissertation! Boolean questions should return true or false, not the entire works of Shakespeare! Every developer has faced that moment of existential crisis when expecting a 1 or 0 and getting back someone's life story instead. It's like ordering a coffee and receiving an ocean - THANKS FOR DROWNING ME IN UNNECESSARY DATA! 💀
