Made Some Homework For My Reverse Engineering Lecture

The function loops through ALL USERS to find one with matching credentials instead of using a proper query. The comment is the chef's kiss: "This only works because there are not many users." It's like saying "my car doesn't need brakes because I don't drive fast." Bonus security nightmare: they're storing password hashes but comparing them directly instead of hashing the input password first. This authentication is basically a time bomb wrapped in spaghetti code!

The joke here is about the existential dread every developer feels when they realize the maintainers of critical open-source libraries that power basically the entire internet (tz database, SQLite, ImageMagick, and FFmpeg) could all theoretically die in a single bus accident. This is the infamous "bus factor" in software development - how screwed would we be if key contributors got hit by a bus? For these particular libraries, the answer is "catastrophically screwed." These aren't just any libraries - they're the unsexy workhorses handling time zones, databases, image processing, and video encoding that silently power everything from your banking app to Netflix. And the kicker? Most are maintained by small teams or even single individuals, often working for free. Sweet dreams!

GASP! The HORROR of finding an Airbnb that's just... HTTP?! Not HTTPS?! My security-conscious soul is SHAKING! 😱 Imagine booking a room where your data travels NAKED across the internet without encryption! That's like sending your credit card info on a postcard and hoping nobody reads it! The web development gods are SCREAMING right now! No SSL certificate? In THIS economy?! I'd rather sleep in my car than connect to that Wi-Fi!

Oh. My. GOD! The absolute NIGHTMARE of modern web browsing! You can't take TWO DIGITAL STEPS without Cloudflare jumping out like an overprotective parent screaming "PROVE YOU'RE NOT A ROBOT!" 🤖 Just trying to read a blog about why my code isn't working? CAPTCHA TIME! Want to check documentation? VERIFY HUMANITY FIRST! Attempting to access StackOverflow to solve the problem that's making me question my career choices? SORRY SWEETIE, CLICK ALL THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS FIRST! The internet has trust issues and I'm taking it PERSONALLY. 💔

The eternal struggle of every IT professional at electronics stores. That moment when the Best Buy employee innocently asks "Do you need help?" and your brain immediately switches to superiority mode. You've spent the last decade debugging kernel panics and configuring RAID arrays—of course you know the difference between HDMI 2.0 and 2.1! You didn't spend four years getting a CS degree to be asked if you've tried turning it off and on again. The internal monologue is deafening: "I could probably fix their POS system faster than they could sell me this overpriced HDMI cable." Yet we still go there... every... single... time.

C developers clutching their precious malloc() and free() functions like they're the last chocolate chip cookies on earth! 😱 Meanwhile, Rust is over here with its memory safety guarantees, and C devs are LOSING THEIR MINDS! "What do you MEAN I can't cause undefined behavior and segfaults anymore?! How will I express my ARTISTIC FREEDOM through dangling pointers?!" The sheer AUDACITY of Rust forcing developers to write code that doesn't randomly explode in production! THE HORROR!
