How To Sleep (Or Not)

How To Sleep (Or Not)
Brain: "Hey you goin' to sleep?" Dev: "Yes, now shut up" Brain: "You committed the API Keys to a public repo" Nothing jolts a developer from the edge of sleep like remembering they accidentally pushed sensitive credentials to GitHub. That moment when your brain reminds you that your AWS keys are now visible to every bot scraping public repos, and your company credit card is about to fund someone's crypto mining operation in Siberia. Sweet dreams!

Million Dollar Security, Five Cent Password

Million Dollar Security, Five Cent Password
Companies spending millions on fancy security programs only to have some exec use "admin/admin" as their credentials is the digital equivalent of installing a bank vault door on a cardboard box. The CISO builds this elaborate security fortress while some VP is basically leaving the keys under the doormat. And the best part? When the inevitable breach happens, guess who gets blamed? Not the genius who thought "admin" was a password that would stump hackers from 1995.

Having A Website (Or Having Your Credentials Stolen)

Having A Website (Or Having Your Credentials Stolen)
Top panel: "Oh look at my cute little website with its adorable traffic spike at 7pm!" Bottom panel: *Cold sweat intensifies* Someone's trying to access every single .env file, config, and AWS credential on your server. Nothing says "welcome to the internet" quite like watching hackers systematically probe your site's defenses while you realize your security is about as robust as a chocolate teapot. Pro tip: if your logs look like this, you're not having a website - a website is having you.

The Comma Sabotage Strategy

The Comma Sabotage Strategy
Ah, weaponizing CSV parsing vulnerabilities—the chaotic neutral approach to security. Adding commas to your password is like putting a tiny landmine in a data breach. When hackers eventually dump the database and try to process it as a CSV file, those commas will shift all the columns and utterly destroy their neat little spreadsheet of stolen credentials. It's both brilliant and completely unhinged. Like sure, your account is still compromised, but at least you've ruined some hacker's day with unexpected field separators. The digital equivalent of putting glitter in an envelope—technically not stopping the crime, just making it way more annoying to commit.

Would You Hire Him

Would You Hire Him
Nothing triggers impostor syndrome quite like scrolling through GitHub and finding Luigi here with dual CS degrees from an Ivy League school, 3500 followers, and probably a contribution graph that looks like a Manhattan skyline. Meanwhile, you're still struggling to center a div and your most impressive achievement is fixing a bug by restarting your computer. The cherry on top? He's probably 22 and already has FAANG offers while you're surviving on Stack Overflow copypasta and praying nobody reviews your code too carefully. But hey, at least you know how to exit Vim... sometimes.

Copilot Autocompletes An API Key

Copilot Autocompletes An API Key
That moment when GitHub Copilot helpfully suggests your private API key that you accidentally committed to a repo six months ago. Nothing like having your $5000/month AWS bill exposed by an AI that's just trying to be helpful. Security through obscurity fails again.

Biggest Plottwist Ever

Biggest Plottwist Ever
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern development! 💸 There you are, thinking you're so clever hard-coding API keys in your ChatGPT prompts, and BOOM! OpenAI is just SWIMMING in your precious secrets like Scrooge McDuck in his money bin! The sheer AUDACITY! Your API keys - those expensive little strings that unlock digital kingdoms and drain your wallet with every request - now collected and potentially exposed! THIS is why we can't have nice things in tech! Next time maybe try environment variables like a functioning adult? 🙄

From Minutes To Seconds To Disaster

From Minutes To Seconds To Disaster
Left: "It took me a few minutes to make BibleGPT with custom GPT. Now? 5 seconds with Devin." Right: "Who is doubting thomas" → "Sorry, an error occurred while fetching your answer." Bottom: "It exposed my API key so I had to revoke :(" The AI dev tool pipeline in 2024: Build something in 5 seconds, deploy it in 2 seconds, expose your API keys in 1 second. Progress! This is why we can't have nice things in tech. The faster we build, the faster we leak credentials. The modern developer experience is just speedrunning security vulnerabilities.

Master Password Leaked

Master Password Leaked
Oh no, the classic "junior dev learns about security the hard way" moment! Nothing says "career-limiting move" quite like accidentally pasting database credentials into ChatGPT while asking for MongoDB help. That innocent "hehe" quickly turns to "not hehe" when you realize you've just handed over root access with the world's most predictable password (hunter2) to an AI that remembers everything . Security team's gonna love this one... right after they finish having simultaneous heart attacks.

Credential Cycling Catastrophe

Credential Cycling Catastrophe
Ah, the classic "$10,000/hour AWS bill of doom" scenario! This comic perfectly captures that moment when you realize your AWS keys have been chilling in public longer than that Minecraft world you've been building. 🙃 The best part? That well-meaning onboarding where someone tells you to rotate keys every "3-6 months" and you're like "totally, absolutely, 100%" while mentally filing that under "things I'll definitely forget until catastrophe strikes." Cloud security is just like flossing - everyone knows they should do it regularly, but somehow we're all too busy playing Minecraft to remember until our teeth (or AWS account) are on fire. 🔥💸

Last Day Of Unpaid Internship

Last Day Of Unpaid Internship
Oh, the sweet revenge of the unpaid intern! This meme shows the command git add .env which is basically the digital equivalent of dropping a nuclear bomb in the repo. The .env file contains all those juicy API keys, database passwords, and secret tokens that should NEVER be committed to version control. It's like saying "Thanks for the experience, here's all your security credentials on GitHub for the world to see!" A perfect exit strategy for someone who worked for exposure instead of actual money. Chaotic evil never looked so satisfying.
