The ultimate security breach: using localhost as your demo environment. That "127.0.0.1:5500" address is just telling everyone you're developing on your own machine.

At least no one can hack what they can't stand to look at.

The commenter with the skull emoji thinks they've caught someone making a rookie security mistake, but they're actually the one who needs to brush up on networking basics. That IP is just pointing to their own computer—like trying to prank call yourself. Every developer's machine has this address. It's the digital equivalent of saying "I live at Home Street, in House City."
