Hollywood Hacking Vs. Reality
Hollywood vs reality: the top shows a dramatic "hacking" progress bar straight out of a 90s thriller, while the bottom reveals the embarrassing truth—it's just a bunch of print() statements. Nothing says "elite hacker" like displaying fake progress messages in the terminal while your actual code does absolutely nothing. Next time your non-tech friend asks you to "hack something," just run this script and watch them be amazed by your "skills." Bonus points if you type really fast while it runs.

No Magic In This World
Hollywood: "I'm in! I've bypassed their encryption algorithms!" Actual programmers watching: *sips coffee with dead eyes* "That's just apt-get update followed by installing random npm packages while staring intensely at the screen." The disillusionment hits harder than that first Monday morning meeting. Nothing destroys the movie magic quite like knowing the dramatic typing and neon terminal windows would realistically be 3 hours of Stack Overflow searches and questioning your career choices.

Hollywood Hacking: Expectation vs Reality
Hollywood: "I'm in! We've breached the mainframe!" Reality: Eight print statements and a dream. The stark contrast between hacking scenes in movies (green text, progress bars, dramatic music) versus the actual code behind them (literally just a loop of print statements) is programming's greatest inside joke. No fancy algorithms, no binary scrolling across the screen—just a script that would make a CS101 student roll their eyes. The sad part? Some viewers think this is actually how cybersecurity works. Next time you see a hacker "bypassing the firewall" in 10 seconds, remember it's probably just a for-loop in disguise.
