Nothing says "welcome to programming hell" quite like getting a Stack Overflow link from some smug dev who's clearly enjoying your suffering. You're desperate, your code is broken, and this guy sends you to a 2011 thread where the accepted answer uses jQuery 1.4 and mentions Internet Explorer compatibility. The worst part? That sadistic smile when they know full well the solution hasn't worked since Obama's first term. And yet they'll still hit you with "did you try updating your dependencies?" while mentally adding another victim to their collection.

A critical MongoDB vulnerability that sat dormant for 8 years (2017-2025) just got discovered, letting attackers yank out heap data like passwords and API keys through a malformed zlib request. The bug was literally committed in June 2017 and merged into production. The fix? Written in December 2025. That's an 8-year nap. But here's the kicker: there are over 213,000 potentially vulnerable MongoDB instances exposed to the internet. The punchline? "ensuring that this exploit is web scale ." 😂 For context, "web scale" is a legendary meme from a satirical video where someone hilariously defends MongoDB's design choices with buzzwords. Now it's come full circle—MongoDB's vulnerability is literally web scale with 213k+ exposed instances. MongoDB also claims "no evidence" of exploitation despite the bug being trivially simple for 8 years. Sure, Jan. Oh, and they haven't apologized yet. Classic.
