Create A Strong Password

The brutal truth from a seasoned dev who's seen too many startups crash and burn. While security professionals are having panic attacks about SQL injection, the average "vibe-based" app developer is just trying to ship something— anything —that someone might actually use. That "move fast and break things" mentality isn't just a motto—it's financial survival. Your app with military-grade encryption is worthless if nobody wants it. The harsh reality? Most apps die from irrelevance, not hackers. Security can always be patched later... if you're lucky enough to have users who care.

Regular users jog casually. Admins sprint in business suits. But sudo users? They transform into samurai warlords with unlimited power. Nothing says "I know exactly what I'm doing and will absolutely not destroy this production server" like typing those four magical letters. The computer just sits there, nervously obeying your every command like a frightened intern.

PostgreSQL documentation writers have clearly reached that point of database security fatigue where threats become increasingly absurd. Forget SQL injection—now it's foreign hackers stealing your embarrassing CD collection, con artists seducing your cat with your Visa card, and balaclava-wearing villains who not only drink your beer but commit the ultimate crime: improper toilet paper orientation. The escalating consequences for string concatenation are the perfect example of documentation writers who've completely lost it trying to scare developers into using parameterized queries. And honestly? It's working.

The ultimate CAPTCHA troll for developers! This fake "Select all animals that lay eggs" challenge is pure evil because technically dinosaurs evolved into birds, so ALL these images should be selected. It's the perfect security trap - select none and you're wrong, select all and the system probably expects you to pick zero because they're "dinosaurs." The subtle genius is that it forces you to choose between biological accuracy and what the algorithm wants. Classic computer-human miscommunication that makes you question your entire CS degree.

The perfect answer to "What screams 'I'm insecure'?" - just a naked HTTP link with no SSL/TLS protection. That poor little protocol is basically walking around the internet without pants on, exposing all its data packets for everyone to see. Security professionals are having heart palpitations right now. Nothing says "please steal my credentials" quite like sending your password over plain HTTP. It's the digital equivalent of writing your bank PIN on a billboard.

Someone's job security strategy is absolutely chef's kiss . Instead of writing clean, maintainable code, they've created a function that always returns 2, labeled it as "job security," and then made two helper functions that literally copy memory addresses to change the return value. Nothing says "I'll never be fired" like writing code that only you understand and using memcpy() to overwrite function implementations instead of, you know, just changing the original function. Because why write one line of code when you can write twenty that require a hazmat suit to maintain? Bonus points for the "NEVER call this function" comments that scream "I'm the only one who knows which landmines not to step on." Pure evil genius at work here.
