Added "Security"

The corporate world's version of mutually assured destruction. While the programmer faces jail time for his digital revenge bomb, the possum's living his best life in pastry paradise. One destroyed a company's infrastructure, the other infiltrated a donut box—both chaotic neutral heroes in their own domains. The real crime here isn't the kill switch, it's that no one thought to implement proper access revocation protocols. Pro tip: before firing your only DevOps engineer, maybe check if they've left presents in your codebase first? That possum didn't even need to write a single line of code to achieve total victory.

Comparing Red Star OS (North Korea's Linux distro) to Windows 11 is like asking if store-brand cereal and name-brand cereal have any differences. Spoiler: it's just different packaging for the same surveillance. Both track everything you do, one's just more honest about it. The corporate overlords might be different, but your data's still going somewhere it probably shouldn't.

Frontend developers trying to access backend data be like: "I was THIS close to paradise!" CORS policy is that annoying bouncer that won't let your API requests into the club even though they're on the list. Nothing quite like spending three hours debugging only to realize you forgot a header in your fetch request. The browser's just sitting there like "Nice try buddy, no cross-origin requests for you today!" And the backend developer who set it up? Probably laughing while sipping coffee somewhere.

Ah, the modern code review experience. You're just trying to implement a simple country access control function, and suddenly your IDE is giving you a moral lecture about your variable naming. The function is perfectly fine—it's checking if a country is in an allowed list—but apparently "whitelist" is now problematic terminology. Meanwhile, that null comparison using triple equals is the actual crime here, but the IDE is too busy being the language police to catch it. Next week: your compiler will refuse to run your code unless you've used gender-neutral variable names and commented with appropriate trigger warnings.

You know that moment when you're just trying to write some cool code with good vibes, but then you put on your security glasses and suddenly see your entire codebase is basically a Swiss cheese of exploits? That's the instant transformation from "yeah, I'm just vibing with my code" to "holy mother of buffer overflows, I've basically created Vulnerability-as-a-Service." The glasses of security awareness turn your beautiful creation into a horror show faster than you can say "SQL injection." And now you can't unsee it!

That sacred pre-vacation ritual where you desperately pray to the server gods that nothing explodes while you're gone. Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like frantically patting server racks and whispering "please don't die" to infrastructure that's held together by duct tape and Stack Overflow answers. The true holiday miracle is making it to January without getting that 3 AM call about the production database deciding to spontaneously combust while you're trying to enjoy your eggnog.
