When Your Validation Logic Hates Real People
Tony Hawk gets deleted from a rental car system because his name sounds "too fake." Meanwhile, someone named Dallas Tester gets their airline reservation nuked because some genius dev wrote a regex that flags anything with "test" in it. Classic case of overzealous validation that assumes real people don't exist. You know that junior dev who wrote if (name.toLowerCase().includes('test')) { return false; } thinking they were being clever? Yeah, they just ruined someone's vacation. Production data cleanup scripts that nuke anything suspicious? They're out there right now, deleting real humans because their names fail the vibe check. Pro tip: Real people have weird names. They're called "Null," they work at companies named "DROP TABLE," and yes, some poor soul is actually named Tester. Your validation should protect against SQL injection, not against unfortunate parents with questionable naming choices.
