I Tried A Senior Dev Joke Though I Am A Junior

This conversation is what happens when you skip the "boring" security lectures in CS class. Our green-text hero thinks decrypting password hashes is just another Tuesday feature request, while orange-text is having an existential crisis trying to explain one-way functions. The best part? Five years of development experience and still wondering why we can't just hand out passwords like candy. That final "I can look it up anytime" after completely misunderstanding basic cryptography is peak developer confidence without competence. This is why your bank account gets hacked, folks. Because somewhere out there, a dev is thinking "who cares if you have the decryption algorithm" while building your financial app. Bruh indeed.

The trap is set and no developer stands a chance. Stack Overflow as bait? Pure genius. We're such simple creatures - just prop up a blue crate with a stick, slap "Stack Overflow" on it, place a cup of coffee underneath, and throw in a dark IDE theme for good measure. The sad part? I'd absolutely crawl under that trap knowing full well it's a trap. After 15 years of coding, my entire career is basically me repeatedly falling for this exact setup while muttering "just one more question about this obscure error and I'll actually start coding."

Content AFTER ALL THESE MEMES ON THIS SUB, I DONT EVEN KNOW IF I'M A JUNIOR OR A SENIOR ANYMORE AND AT THIS POINT I'M TOO AFRAID TO ASK

OMG, the EVOLUTION of code ownership in three acts of pure DRAMA! 🎭 Act I: Designers having an absolute MELTDOWN over similar ideas. One's all smug while the other is literally CRYING TEARS OF RAGE! The audacity! Act II: Programmers being utterly UNBOTHERED. "I stole your code" meets "It's not my code" with the emotional investment of discussing yesterday's weather. The NONCHALANCE is killing me! Act III: GitHub users achieving PEAK ENLIGHTENMENT. Not only is stealing acknowledged, it's THANKED FOR! This is the digital equivalent of someone breaking into your house and you offering them tea for reorganizing your furniture! Welcome to open source, where your precious code belongs to EVERYONE and nobody simultaneously. What's mine is yours and what's yours is... forked.
