What People See When They Look At My Cursed Code

1 day ago 78.6M views 0 shares

When your codebase is 99.7% SQL and consists entirely of nested SELECT statements with enough ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY) clauses to make a database administrator weep into their coffee. The sheer terror on that face? That's your code reviewer trying to parse through seven levels of subqueries, each one more cursed than the last. Bonus points for the random VARCHAR to ASC casts scattered throughout like landmines. Someone clearly discovered window functions and decided to make them everyone else's problem. The database engine runs this code. The database engine suffers. We all suffer.

Can An AI Agent Fix This Task

You know what's hilarious? Management discovers AI agents exist and suddenly thinks they can solve literally everything. Need to fix a bug? AI agent. Need better reporting? AI agent. Need to stop Karen from accounting from emailing you Excel files with 47 tabs? Surely an AI agent can handle that. But here's the thing—most of the time you don't need some fancy AI agent burning through your API credits. You just need someone to admit that storing critical business data in "Q3_FINAL_FINAL_v2_ACTUAL_FINAL.xlsx" is insane and build a proper database-backed app like we've been suggesting for three years. The therapist's patience here is all of us watching another "AI will revolutionize everything" pitch when the real problem is that Susan still thinks Excel is a database and Git is something you yell at junior devs for not doing.

Remember The Times When Books From The Right Were So Important To Read

The tech industry moves faster than a caffeinated squirrel on espresso, and this couldn't be more brutally accurate. On the left, we've got the OG programming wisdom: Deep Learning, Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Prompt Engineering for LLMs—basically the shiny new toys everyone's obsessing over. Meanwhile, on the right side, gathering dust like ancient relics, are the ACTUAL fundamentals: Refactoring, Design Patterns, and Designing Data-Intensive Applications. You know, the stuff that would actually save you from writing spaghetti code that makes senior devs weep into their keyboards. We're all out here trying to build the next ChatGPT while our code architecture looks like a Jenga tower held together with duct tape and prayers. Everyone wants to be an AI engineer, but nobody wants to learn why their database queries are slower than a sloth on vacation. The distracted boyfriend format hits HARD here because we're literally ignoring the timeless engineering principles that would make us better developers, all because ML and AI are the hot new thing that'll definitely get us that FAANG job, right? RIGHT?!

What's Circular Hashing Anyway

Nothing says "I'm a senior engineer" quite like confidently adding a cache server to fix performance issues, only to watch your database implode because you forgot about cache invalidation. The happy face represents that brief, blissful moment when you think you're a genius for implementing caching. The horrified face? That's when you realize your cache and database are now locked in an eternal death spiral of stale data and inconsistent states. Fun fact: Phil Karlton once said there are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things. Turns out he was right, and you just speedran discovering why. Your cache is serving yesterday's data while your database is crying in the corner wondering why nobody loves it anymore. Classic circular dependency nightmare—the cache needs the DB, the DB needs the cache, and you need a new job.

Why Even Ask

Imagine walking into the birth registrar's office and confidently declaring you want to name your child "OR 1 = 1 --" for "family tradition" reasons. The registrar's face? Pure confusion mixed with existential dread. Because nothing says "loving parent" quite like naming your kid after a SQL injection attack that could potentially drop entire databases! For those blissfully unaware: OR 1 = 1 -- is the classic SQL injection payload that makes authentication checks go "sure buddy, come right in!" The OR 1 = 1 part always evaluates to true, and the -- comments out the rest of the query. It's basically the skeleton key of poorly secured databases. So yeah, good luck explaining to kindergarten teachers why little Bobby Tables' sibling is named after a database exploit. The family tree must be absolutely WILD.

I Doubt They Were Expecting The Answer So Soon

Snowflake recruiter: "Will your data and AI architecture hold up in production?" ASOS getting hacked literally the same day: "Well, about that..." Nothing says "we're not interested in your sales pitch" quite like your entire Snowflake instance getting ransomware'd within hours of the cold message. The timing here is *chef's kiss* level unfortunate. It's like asking someone if their house is fireproof while their kitchen is actively burning down. The hackers basically answered Snowflake's recruiting question for them: "No, actually, it won't hold up. Thanks for asking though!"

What Happens To John

When your junior dev casually announces they're about to nuke production at 9:40 AM on a Tuesday. The sheer panic that follows is palpable—immediate voice call that goes straight to voicemail (because of course it does), followed by "Deploy*" with an asterisk that screams "I ALREADY DID IT," then the world's fastest apology speedrun. The begging escalates beautifully: "Just pick my call please 🙏" then straight to "Please take the day off! Don't do anything!" which is basically the tech equivalent of "PUT THE GUN DOWN." And John, bless his heart, hits back with "It was a typo" like that somehow makes accidentally obliterating the database better. Narrator: It wasn't a typo. Pro tip: If someone says they're about to destroy your backend and DB, maybe have their deploy permissions revoked before they send the message. Just a thought.

Broke My Heart

Someone just learned the hard way why you always test your cleanup scripts with a dry-run flag first. Their "dry-run" turned out to be about as dry as the Titanic's maiden voyage—it executed real deletes and nuked the admin account (user id 3) because it had email_verified=0 in the database. The beautiful irony? They're now frantically checking for database backups while simultaneously realizing they should've excluded admin accounts AND done a SELECT-only test first. That's like realizing you should've brought a parachute after jumping out of the plane. The PowerShell suggestion at the bottom is basically the digital equivalent of "thoughts and prayers"—good luck recovering from that one, chief. Pro tip: When your cleanup script has the power to delete accounts, maybe don't trust a boolean flag to be the only thing standing between you and unemployment.

GPT Is Responsible

Ah yes, the classic security nightmare: a pentester casually strolling through your entire email database because someone copy-pasted GPT's code without reading past the first line. But sure, blame the AI tools instead of, you know, actually reviewing the code before deploying it to production. The real comedy here is that Supabase and GPT are just sitting there, minding their business, while vibecoders—those magical developers who "feel" their way through coding without understanding what they're doing—create data breaches with the confidence of a thousand suns. It's like blaming your GPS for driving off a cliff when you weren't even looking at the road. Pro tip: If your authentication logic was written by an LLM and you didn't verify it, you're not a developer—you're a liability with a keyboard. Read the code. Understand the code. Or at least Google "how to not expose my entire database" before the pentester does it for you.

Targeted Ad Strategy

Someone at PlanetScale's marketing department just earned their entire year's salary with this genius move. Advertising a sharded Postgres database on the back of a school bus? Chef's kiss. The target demographic is crystal clear: burned-out developers stuck in traffic, contemplating their life choices while their monolithic database chokes on another 10 million rows. The irony? PlanetScale is actually a MySQL-compatible database (built on Vitess), not Postgres. But hey, when you're advertising database sharding to commuters behind a school bus, technical accuracy takes a backseat to pure comedic gold. The .DEV domain really seals the deal—because nothing says "I understand your pain" like a TLD that screams "yes, we're one of you." Fun fact: Sharding is like cutting your database pizza into slices so multiple servers can eat it simultaneously. Except instead of pizza, it's your data, and instead of eating, it's... well, still kind of eating your data.

Good Vibes Only

You know those developers who claim they're all about "positive energy" and "good vibes only"? Yeah, they suddenly develop a thousand-yard stare when you bring up trivial matters like why the production database is accessible from the internet without authentication. Security? Never heard of her. Observability? Sounds like corporate buzzword bingo. Concurrency issues? Just restart the server, bro. Data loss? That's what backups are for... wait, we have backups, right? The vibe check has officially failed. Time to update that resume and pretend you were just the intern.

Writing Data Or Something I Don't Know I'm Not Good With Computers

When someone asks you to explain how databases work but you took the term "write to disk" a bit too literally. Nothing says "persistent storage" quite like literally etching data onto the platter with a pencil. The magnetic read/write head is shaking in the corner watching this absolute war crime against hardware. But hey, at least this data won't be affected by electromagnetic interference, right? It's basically blockchain but analog. Revolutionary stuff. Fun fact: This is still more reliable than storing your production database credentials in a .txt file on your desktop named "definitely_not_passwords.txt".
