Hackers Before Advanced Encryption: Just Say "Eh"

Ah, the legendary "security by obscurity" approach! This poor soul thinks removing their password from a list of common passwords will protect them from hackers. Meanwhile, they're literally broadcasting their password ("dolphins") by showing the diff where they're removing it from the file. It's like putting a "DEFINITELY NOT HIDING MONEY HERE" sign on your mattress. The 263 thumbs up and 353 laughing reactions show everyone appreciates this spectacular self-own. Security experts everywhere just collectively facepalmed so hard they broke their mechanical keyboards.

The most polite malware you'll ever encounter! This dialog box features an "Albanian virus" that's so technologically challenged it has to ask nicely for you to delete your own files and spread it manually. It's basically the software equivalent of showing up to a bank robbery with a strongly worded Post-it note instead of a weapon. The "Yes/No/Cancel" buttons make it even better—imagine clicking "Cancel" and the virus sends you a follow-up apology email for the inconvenience.

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.

The evolution of asking for coding help in three stages: 1. Programming communities : "Have you tried Googling it?" *downvotes your question for being a duplicate from 2013* 2. Linux community : "I see you're struggling. Here's a 47-page manual and a cryptic one-liner that will either fix everything or format your hard drive. Figure out which!" 3. Web3 communities : "Hey fren! I can totally help! Just connect your wallet to this definitely-not-suspicious smart contract I made at 3am!"

That's not a white dot, that's Cursor AI sharing your plaintext password file with every hacker on the planet. Nothing says "security professional" like storing credentials in a CSV file named "passwords.csv" and then asking about UI elements while exposing it. Somewhere, a security engineer just felt a disturbance in the force and doesn't know why.

Ah, the classic integer overflow exploit, but for babies! This programmer parent found the ultimate life hack - exploiting the Social Security system like it's a poorly coded video game from the 90s. Give your newborn a dollar, wait for their SS number, then take it back to create a negative balance that wraps around to the maximum 32-bit integer value ($2,147,483,647). It's basically SQL injection but for parenting. This is what happens when developers become parents - they immediately start looking for edge cases in government systems. Forget college funds, just find buffer overflows!
