Seniors Am I Doing This Correctly

Junior dev commits what looks like a security audit's worst nightmare directly to staging. We've got hardcoded API keys with "sk-proj" prefixes (looking at you, OpenAI), admin passwords literally set to "admin123", MongoDB connection strings with credentials in plain text, AWS secrets just vibing in variables, and a Stripe key that's probably already been scraped by seventeen bots. But wait, there's more! They're storing passwords in localStorage (chef's kiss for XSS attacks), setting global window credentials, fetching from a URL literally called "malicious-site.com", and my personal favorite - trying to parse "not valid json {{(" because why not test your error handling in production? The loop creating 10,000 arrays of 1,000 elements each is just the performance cherry on top of this security disaster sundae. Someone's about to learn why we have .env files, code reviews, and why the senior dev is now stress-eating in the corner.

Best Practices Are Always Optional

Behold, the PINNACLE of developer security theater! 🎭 Worried about AI stealing your precious algorithms? Set up a private git server! But then use it to commit your API keys in plain text because APPARENTLY reading documentation about environment variables is TOO MUCH WORK. It's like installing a state-of-the-art security system for your house and then leaving the key under the doormat with a neon sign pointing to it. GENIUS LEVEL SECURITY!
