Content Have you ever seen code so bad it made you laugh? David Seidman, former Security Program Manager at Microsoft (2005-2016) Answered Feb 8 Upvoted by Aveesha Sharma, Masters of Science Software Engineering, Arizona State Univ... and Mandeep Kaur, MS Software Engineering, San Jose State University (2017) I was working for Microsoft's security incident response team investigating a vulnerability.

It's the digital equivalent of looking for your keys while someone suggests checking Mars instead of your pocket. The search functionality that can't search—a paradox worthy of a computer science dissertation.

The innovation we've been waiting for since 1981! Someone took a PC, made it smaller, and called it PC 2. Revolutionary stuff.
