Integer Underflow: A Wish Come True

integer-overflow-memes, programming-bugs-memes, edge-cases-memes, input-validation-memes, unsigned-integer-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Classic integer overflow exploit! When the genie says "you can't wish for more wishes," our clever protagonist finds the loophole by wishing for ZERO wishes, causing the wish counter to underflow. Now they've got 4,295,967,295 wishes (2^32 - 1) - the maximum value of an unsigned 32-bit integer. This is basically the same energy as when you find that one edge case the senior dev forgot to validate in the input form. The genie's face in the last panel is every backend developer who just realized their input sanitization failed spectacularly.

I'll Be Backend

A Terminator-style execution of JavaScript heresy. Claiming JS is the best for backend is the fastest way to get your developer card revoked. Node.js enthusiasts will insist it's "actually good now" while the rest of us silently judge them from our compiled language fortresses. The mom clearly hasn't experienced the joy of async callback hell at 2AM when production is burning.
