Peacefully sleeping until your brain suddenly screams: "WAIT! That code uses a single equals sign for comparison instead of double equals! That's an assignment, not a condition check!" That single character difference between if (user = admin) and if (user == admin) means you're not checking if user equals admin—you're literally making user become admin and then checking if that assignment succeeded (which it always will). Congratulations, you just gave everyone admin access!

Sleeping peacefully until your brain jolts you awake at 3:27 AM because you realized you used = instead of == in that authentication code. That single equals sign just gave admin access to literally everyone. Sweet dreams! Nothing quite like the cold sweat of realizing you've accidentally created the world's most generous authorization system. The fix takes 2 seconds but the existential dread lasts forever.
