Fastest Way To Develop A Website From Nightmares
Ah, the classic "designer-to-developer handoff" nightmare. Designer smugly passes over an SVG file thinking they've done their part, while the developer opens it to find... base64 encoded gibberish from the ninth circle of hell . That moment when you realize the "vector graphic" is actually a PNG wrapped in SVG tags with enough encoded garbage to make cryptographers weep. The developer's death stare says it all - "I asked for clean code, not digital vomit that would take three quantum computers to decode." And tomorrow the designer will ask, "So how's the implementation coming along? Should be quick, right? It's just an SVG!"

Base64 Is Not Encryption
Every junior dev thinks they've invented encryption when they discover Base64. The number of times I've had to explain that encoding ≠ encryption is probably why my hair's thinning. Base64 is just fancy dress for your data – anyone can undress it with zero effort. It's like hiding your house key under the doormat and calling it a security system. And the response is always the same: "Fine! I'll just use Base128 then!" Sure buddy, throw more digits at the problem. That'll fix it. Just like how writing your password in bigger letters makes it more secure.

Strong Encryption
Oh no! Someone thinks base64 encoding is "strong encryption"! 🤦‍♂️ This is like putting your house key under the doormat and calling it a high-security vault! Base64 is just an encoding scheme that converts binary data to text - it's not encryption at all! It can be decoded by literally anyone with an internet connection in 2 seconds flat. The cherry on top is the user named "acidburnNSA" claiming it's "mathematically unhackable" - which is pure comedy gold! And then someone suggests base16 is equally secure? I can't even! This is the security equivalent of using "password123" and feeling smug about it!
