The Illusion Of Cookie Consent

privacy-memes, tracking-memes, cookies-memes, facebook-memes, meta-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The illusion of choice in modern tech! That beautiful conditional statement says it all - whether you accept cookies or not, you're getting tracked. It's like asking someone "Would you prefer I spy on you through the front door or the back window?" Either way, your data's being harvested faster than you can say "privacy policy." The funniest part? Companies actually spent millions on those cookie consent popups just to implement this exact logic behind the scenes. Talk about malicious compliance!

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!

Naming Is Important

Developers rejecting the verbose validateDate() in favor of the pun-tastic valiDate() is peak naming culture. When you spend 8 hours coding and 6 hours thinking of clever function names that'll make your colleagues exhale slightly harder through their noses during code review. The real validation we seek is from our peers, not our dates.
