Employee Of The Month: Lava Lamp Edition

Ah, "vibe coded" – the spiritual successor to "works on my machine." When your code review consists of vibing with it instead of actual testing. Security professionals are salivating at the job security these startups are creating. Nothing says "future CVE entry" quite like an app built on good feelings and zero documentation. The cybersecurity industry thanks you for your service.

Oh look, it's the classic "I'm totally protected" delusion! 🤣 The soldier (labeled "My code") is proudly standing there like "nothing to see here!" while completely ignoring that SQL injection attacks are LITERALLY RAINING DOWN on the poor database sleeping behind them. It's like putting up an umbrella with holes and saying "I'm dry!" Meanwhile, your database is getting absolutely drenched in malicious queries. Security by ignorance isn't a feature, it's a countdown to disaster! Your database is just lying there, accepting its tragic fate while you do jazz hands at the problem.

Remember when hackers had to actually know things ? The big brain hacker of yesteryear reverse engineered binaries, wrote zines with 0day exploits, and gained root access just for the intellectual thrill. Fast forward to today, and we've got script kiddies drooling over their keyboards while Metasploit does all the work with a single command. For the uninitiated, Metasploit is basically the "I'm a hacker" starter pack that automates exploits so anyone can feel like Mr. Robot without understanding what's happening under the hood. It's like comparing someone who builds a car from scratch to someone who thinks they're a mechanic because they can turn the key. The future of hacking? Probably just asking ChatGPT to "do a hack please" while eating Cheetos.

Ah, Best Buy bringing back the Y2K38 apocalypse warnings. That sticker is telling you to shut down your computer before 03:14:07 on January 19, 2038 – when 32-bit Unix timestamps roll over and potentially brick everything running on them. Just like Y2K but with fewer panic bunkers and more GitHub issues. At this point, I'm more worried about my code from last sprint than some timestamp issue 14 years from now. Though I'm impressed anyone thinks my ThinkPad will still boot by then.

OH. MY. GOD. The government is literally HEMORRHAGING money on VSCode licenses that are FREE FOR EVERYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET! 💸💸💸 Imagine being the poor soul who authorized payment for 250 VSCode licenses when only 33 people are using them... and VSCode is literally FREE and OPEN SOURCE! This is tax dollars evaporating faster than my will to live during a Monday morning standup! 😱 But wait, it gets better! Those 5 cybersecurity licenses for 20K seats when they only have 15K employees? That's like buying a mansion for your pet rock! I simply cannot with this level of bureaucratic chaos! 🤦‍♀️

That awkward moment when your kid's teacher can't pronounce "$2Y$10$UgTh9EyUvedMTndo0PvF4.YkZaHx6OsMirqjR6ApgAsnPrRikwBgs" during roll call. On the plus side, absolutely no one is stealing this kid's identity. The ultimate security-minded parent move: not using your kid's name as your password, but using your incomprehensible bcrypt hash as your kid's name. Modern problems require modern solutions.
