Security Just Interferes With Vibes

Security Just Interferes With Vibes
First tweet: "Look at me! I built a SaaS with AI and zero coding! People actually pay for this!" Two days later: "Help! I'm being hacked! My API keys are maxed out, people are bypassing subscriptions, and my database is a dumpster fire!" The classic "I'm not technical" + "I skipped all security measures" combo strikes again. Turns out that building a product without understanding the fundamentals is like building a house with popsicle sticks—impressive until the first strong wind. Friendly reminder: AI can write your code, but it can't protect you from your own hubris. Security isn't just a vibe killer—it's actually kind of important.

I Don't Always Test My Code

I Don't Always Test My Code
The classic "test in production" approach - because who needs staging environments when you've got paying customers as your QA team? Nothing quite matches that adrenaline rush of pushing untested code straight to prod and then watching the Slack channel explode while frantically typing "git revert" with one hand and reaching for coffee with the other. It's like skydiving, except the parachute is made of Stack Overflow answers and desperate prayers.

Security? Just Vibe It Away!

Security? Just Vibe It Away!
The classic security vs. speed dilemma, now with extra "vibe" energy! This senior engineer discovered that permission checks were blocking users, so the galaxy brain solution? Just nuke the entire security layer! Nothing says "ship it fast" like making your database rules "more permissive for now" (narrator: it stayed that way forever). The -7 deletions in the commit diff are probably all those pesky security checks that were just cramping everyone's style. Who needs data protection when you've got vibes ?

Backend Devs Doing Frontend

Backend Devs Doing Frontend
That moment when your backend dev says "I'll handle the UI this time" and suddenly your website looks like India's electrical infrastructure. Backend folks have a special talent for turning 20 lines of CSS into whatever this cable nightmare is. "It works on my machine" they say, while the rest of us need therapy after seeing their div placement. The functionality is there... it's just buried under 500 tangled wires and absolutely zero concern for user experience.

Test In Production: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Test In Production: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Nothing says confidence like a guy with a Titanic badge testing directly in production. Because why bother with staging environments when you can just roll the dice with real customer data? The irony is just *chef's kiss* - the Titanic wasn't exactly known for its successful deployment. This is basically the "hold my beer" of software development. Ten years in the industry and I've seen this mindset sink more careers than that iceberg sank passengers.

Every Big Company's Development Philosophy

Every Big Company's Development Philosophy
Corporate logic at its finest! Why use battle-tested, free open source solutions when you can burn six months reinventing the wheel with extra bugs? Nothing says "enterprise quality" like rejecting perfectly good code because it wasn't invented here. The best part? When it inevitably fails, they'll hire consultants to implement the open source solution they rejected in the first place. Bonus points if they call it a "proprietary custom solution" in the shareholder meeting! 💸
