The Next Billion Dollar App

1 day ago 126.0K views 1 shares

Ah yes, the classic "prepare for a million users who will never come" syndrome. Nothing says "professional developer" quite like setting up Kubernetes clusters, load balancers, and sharded databases for an app that will be used exclusively by you, your mom, and that one supportive friend who clicks it once and never returns. It's basically the software equivalent of buying a Ferrari to drive to the mailbox. But hey, when that 691st user shows up, you'll be ready... any day now...

Stop Over Engineering

Security Webdev Javascript Programming Databases

Ah yes, the "security through simplicity" approach. Why bother with REST constraints, data validation, or SQL injection protection when you can just let users execute raw queries directly against your production database? Nothing says "I trust the internet" like exposing your entire database through a single endpoint. The best part? When your company inevitably gets hacked, you can just blame it on "those pesky hackers" instead of your API that's basically a neon sign saying "DROP TABLES HERE". Bonus points for hardcoding credentials in your source code. Because who needs environment variables when you can just commit passwords directly to GitHub?

Stop Over Engineering (And Start Over Exploiting)

Nothing says "I trust my users completely" like letting them run raw SQL queries directly against your production database. This code is basically saying "Here's the keys to my database kingdom, please don't DELETE FROM users WHERE 1=1." It's the digital equivalent of leaving your front door wide open with a sign that says "Please don't steal anything." Security teams everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force, as if millions of injection vulnerabilities suddenly cried out in terror.

When Simple Math Meets Enterprise Solutions

When Simple Math Meets Enterprise Solutions

First dev: "I'll just hardcode every single number from 1 to infinity with its even/odd status. Efficiency!" Second dev: "Why use simple modulo math when you can just outsource your basic arithmetic to a GPT model? That's 500KB of code and a $10 API bill to determine if a number is divisible by 2." The evolution of problem-solving in 2023: from hilariously inefficient to absurdly overcomplicated. Because nothing says "modern software engineering" like turning a one-line function into an enterprise-grade AI solution with cloud dependencies. Next week: "IsPositive() function now requires stable internet connection and cryptocurrency wallet."

The Revolutionary AI Implementation

When companies boast about "implementing AI," what they really mean is that the project manager discovered ChatGPT can do basic math. Revolutionary stuff! Next up: using a neural network to decide where to order lunch. The corporate world's definition of "AI implementation" is basically just replacing Excel with slightly fancier tools while claiming they're at the cutting edge of the technological revolution. Meanwhile, actual machine learning engineers are banging their heads against their keyboards.

Test Suite Setup: The Infrastructure Apocalypse

Oh. My. GOD! This is what passes for a "test suite setup" these days?! 🙄 The absolute AUDACITY of this engineer spinning up TWO ENTIRE DATABASES, Docker containers, and who knows what else just to run some tests! Meanwhile, the person's face says it all - that smug "I'm about to watch the world burn while this monstrosity takes 45 minutes to initialize" expression. The perfect representation of modern development where "simple unit tests" now require their own data center and probably three cloud providers on standby. And they wonder why the coffee machine is always empty!

The World's Most Efficient Decision Tree

The world's most efficient and accurate decision tree in computing history. While VCs throw millions at anything with "blockchain" in the pitch deck, actual engineers have known this truth for years. The 2025 update will just be the same diagram with "Do I need AI?" added, and spoiler alert - the answer is also "No." Unless you're selling to people who don't understand technology but control the budget.

C#: The Ultimate Image Editor

WHO NEEDS PHOTOSHOP WHEN YOU HAVE C# CONSOLE APPS?! Some absolute MADLAD just recreated the Milad Tower using nothing but console.WriteLine() statements and color changes! That's right - forget your fancy graphics software with their "intuitive interfaces" and "reasonable workflows" - just slam out 500 lines of console output with precise ASCII characters and watch your masterpiece emerge! The sheer AUDACITY of spending hours meticulously crafting this monstrosity instead of just... you know... using literally ANY image editor. This is the programming equivalent of building the Eiffel Tower out of toothpicks when there's a perfectly good 3D printer RIGHT THERE. I'm simultaneously horrified and impressed.

Make It Exist First

The eternal battle between two development philosophies: the virgin "make it exist first, optimize later" vs. the chad "perfect it before it exists." The first guy represents 99% of actual working software in production. Ship it, fix it in post, and nobody dies. The second guy represents that one developer who's been "architecting the perfect solution" for six months and hasn't written a single line of code that compiles. Meanwhile, your manager just wants something to demo to the client tomorrow.

The Abstract Factory Of My Nightmares

Ah yes, the classic "please review my PR" followed by yet another abstract factory implementation. The face of pure disappointment says it all. Nothing quite like asking a colleague to review your code only to subject them to the 17th implementation of a design pattern that could've been a simple function. The cat's expression is the universal symbol for "I died a little inside reading this code."

Nuclear Powered Sledgehammer For A Thumbtack

The classic tech startup approach: facing a problem that could be solved with basic logic? Better throw a neural network at it! Nothing says "we're innovative" like using machine learning to make a sandwich when a simple if-else statement would do. It's like watching someone deploy a supercomputer to calculate 2+2 while wearing a "disrupting the industry" t-shirt. Venture capitalists just can't resist that sweet, sweet ML buzzword, even when the only thing being disrupted is common sense.

The Automation Paradox

The eternal developer dilemma: spend several hours automating a task that would take 5 minutes to do manually. Sure, the automation will save time... eventually... after the 84th run... in theory. But who's counting? Certainly not the developer crawling through the desert of inefficiency while ignoring the obvious oasis of just doing the damn thing.
