Please Don't Install Malware Using NPM

24 days ago 143.5K views 0 shares

Ah yes, the JavaScript ecosystem's finest moment: people literally typing npm i malware and hitting enter. The package is 9 years old, hasn't been updated since, and somehow still claims 12 victims weekly. This is why we can't have nice things in the npm registry. Some dev probably thought "surely nobody would be dumb enough to install something LITERALLY called malware" and yet here we are, with a steady heartbeat on that download graph. Those 12 weekly downloads are either security researchers, extremely curious cats with disposable VMs, or the same intern who keeps running rm -rf / "just to see what happens."

I Honestly Don't Know What I Was Thinking

Oh. My. GOD. The AUDACITY of our past selves! 💀 What seemed like a BRILLIANT idea at 2 AM ("Let's just add a simple history feature so users can undo operations!") turns into an existential crisis when you realize you've opened a Pandora's box of race conditions and theoretical nightmares. Your brain literally SPLITS IN TWO - part of you is like "this is fine, just a quick feature" while the other part is DROWNING in the horrifying reality that you've just volunteered to rewrite half your database architecture for what was supposed to be a "20 minute adventure." And the worst part? Future you will look back at this code and wonder what kind of DERANGED LUNATIC wrote it. Spoiler alert: it was you. It was ALWAYS you.

The Commit History That Ended A Career

Ah, the GitHub contribution graph that spells out "F*CK" in bright green squares. Classic career suicide by commit history. Pro tip: Your manager doesn't appreciate artistic expression in version control, especially when it takes months of carefully timed commits to execute. Next time maybe try writing unit tests instead of profanity with your work account? That résumé is gonna need updating faster than a npm dependency.

Deploy To Production: The Eternal Temptation

Deploy To Production: The Eternal Temptation

The eternal struggle between doing things right and doing things fast. Two buttons: one inviting you to safely deploy to test with a friendly "YES" button, and the other—surrounded by hazard stripes—screaming "Deploy Directly to Production" with a firm "NO" button. Yet there you are, sweating profusely, knowing deep down that you're going to bypass all those carefully crafted CI/CD pipelines because "it's just a small fix" and "nobody will notice." Narrator: Everyone noticed. Seven years of building robust deployment processes, and we still hit that production button like it's the last slice of pizza at 2 AM. Pure self-sabotage wrapped in the sweet illusion of efficiency.

Who Turned Off Transaction Logging To Save Space?

THE AUDACITY! Some absolute MANIAC turned off transaction logging to "save space" and now the entire database team is having a collective meltdown! 💀 It's like removing your car's brakes to make it lighter - technically correct but CATASTROPHICALLY stupid! Without transaction logs, you might as well write your data on Post-its and throw them into a hurricane. Hope everyone enjoyed having recoverable data because that ship has SAILED, darling! Database recovery? More like database PRAYER at this point! ✨

Software Bad? Let's Make It Worse!

The perfect encapsulation of tech industry decision-making! Instead of addressing the root problems of unstable, unmaintainable code bases, let's just hire more "vibe coders" who prioritize aesthetic GitHub profiles over documentation. Nothing says "we've fixed our technical debt" like bringing in developers who commit with messages like "✨ fixed stuff ✨" without explaining what they actually did. Next sprint feature: AI-generated commit messages that somehow contain even less information than "updated code"!

The Unsaid Rule Of Friday Deployments

Ah, the sacred Friday deployment ritual! The production server is humming along perfectly, but that won't stop a developer with sunglasses and questionable judgment from pushing code right before the weekend. The meme references Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" - essentially Rickrolling the entire company's weekend. The unspoken rule? Never deploy on Friday . Yet here we are, watching someone confidently break the most hallowed commandment of DevOps with the swagger of someone who won't be answering emergency calls at 2 AM on Saturday.

Deploy On Friday Because Why Not

The digital equivalent of sticking a fork in an electrical socket while standing in a puddle. Deploying to production on Friday is that special brand of self-sabotage only developers understand. Sure, you could wait until Monday when you're fresh and have a whole week to fix the inevitable dumpster fire. But where's the adrenaline rush in that? Nothing says "I hate future me" quite like pushing code right before the weekend and then acting surprised when your phone explodes with alerts while you're trying to enjoy your beer. It's basically the tech version of "hold my beer and watch this" – except the beer is your weekend and what we're watching is your mental stability crumble in real-time.

Stay Tuned For More Bugs

Ah, corporate wisdom strikes again. Management thinks forcing developers to use cursor-based pagination will give them the energetic Duracell bunny—all that efficiency and power. What they actually get is just Bugs Bunny—endless bugs hopping around the codebase. Nothing says "I don't understand technical decisions" quite like mandating specific implementation details without understanding the consequences. The rabbit hole of debugging goes much deeper than expected.

Weird How That Works

The eternal paradox of software development budgets! Companies will pinch pennies when it comes to investing in proper architecture, clean code, or adequate testing time... but then magically find a mountain of cash when it's time to rewrite the entire codebase because the technical debt finally collapsed like a house of cards. It's the corporate equivalent of refusing to pay for an oil change but happily buying a new engine when the old one seizes up. Technical debt interest rates are brutal , folks!

Penetration Testing Gone Wrong

Security Testing

When your security awareness training meets real-world application. Plugging in random USB devices is basically sending an engraved invitation to hackers saying "Please compromise my system, I've made it extra convenient for you." The classic security vulnerability: human curiosity. This is why security professionals develop eye twitches by age 30. The number of organizations compromised because someone found a mysterious flash drive in the parking lot is disturbingly high. At least malwarebytes caught it, which is more than we can say for the user's decision-making process.

Use The Best Tool For The Job

That awkward moment when your tech stack resembles a Frankenstein's monster of programming languages. Nothing says "best tool for the job" like writing scripts in Java (a compiled language designed for enterprise applications), serving them with JavaScript (because apparently we hate ourselves), and then embedding the whole mess inside Python. It's like building a sandwich with a sledgehammer, a paintbrush, and chopsticks - technically possible, but everyone watching you is silently judging your life choices.
