Stay Away From Server Room (Or Else)

Ah, the classic "let's hardcode every single IP address instead of using a regex or CIDR notation" approach. Nothing says "I learned to code from a cereal box" quite like writing 254 if statements when if (ipaddress.startsWith('1.1.1.')) { return 0; } would do the trick. This is the kind of code that makes senior devs develop eye twitches and sudden interests in early retirement.

The secret to web developer wealth revealed: sending a "Request" and getting paid for a "Reponse" (yes, with that magnificent typo). This is basically the world's simplest business model - ask server for money, server gives money back. If only it were that easy! The real irony is that most webdev boyfriends are actually sending thousands of requests just to get a response that says "404: Money Not Found." The relationship between client and server is the only stable relationship in their lives.

The ultimate penetration test! When the interviewer asks "what makes you suitable for this job?" and the candidate drops the bomb: "I hacked your computer and invited myself for this interview." Talk about demonstrating your skills instead of just listing them on a resume! This is basically the tech equivalent of breaking into a bank vault to apply for a security guard position. Practical experience > theoretical knowledge. The real power move isn't sending a follow-up email after the interview—it's hacking the HR system to schedule the interview in the first place. Unauthorized access has never been so career-advancing!

When your network goes down and the help desk blames the OSI model instead of admitting they restarted the wrong server. Nothing like starting your day with "It's clearly a Layer 8 issue" – tech support code for "the problem exists between keyboard and chair." That's right, they're calling you the problem. Meanwhile, the sysadmin is probably watching South Park reruns while your production environment burns.

Ah, the classic "one person wearing all the hats" syndrome. This is what happens when management says "we're streamlining IT operations" but really means "we fired everyone except you." The Squidward multiverse perfectly captures that moment when you're simultaneously fixing Karen's printer, fending off ransomware, resetting the CEO's password for the 17th time this month, and trying to figure out why Microsoft decided to move everything in the admin center again . Pro tip: When asked how long something will take, multiply your estimate by 5 and add "depending on how many password resets interrupt me." Works every time.

Remember when hackers had to actually know things ? The big brain hacker of yesteryear reverse engineered binaries, wrote zines with 0day exploits, and gained root access just for the intellectual thrill. Fast forward to today, and we've got script kiddies drooling over their keyboards while Metasploit does all the work with a single command. For the uninitiated, Metasploit is basically the "I'm a hacker" starter pack that automates exploits so anyone can feel like Mr. Robot without understanding what's happening under the hood. It's like comparing someone who builds a car from scratch to someone who thinks they're a mechanic because they can turn the key. The future of hacking? Probably just asking ChatGPT to "do a hack please" while eating Cheetos.
