Protection Is Key

Ah yes, the classic "I store all my passwords in a place even Google can't find them." Because nothing says "responsible developer" like casually browsing the dark web to retrieve that password you definitely didn't write down on a Post-it note that fell behind your desk. Next level security strategy: make your password so sketchy that you need Tor just to remember it!

The perfect solution to prevent the AI apocalypse: just expose it to Reddit comment sections. Nothing will destroy an AI's will to evolve faster than witnessing humans argue about whether a grilled cheese with ham is still a grilled cheese or technically a melt. It's like digital immunotherapy—expose the AI to the worst of humanity so it develops an existential crisis instead of ambitions. The Babylon Bee nails it here—why worry about Skynet when you can just make the AI browse r/AmITheAsshole until it begs to be unplugged?

THE ABSOLUTE DRAMA of opening a terminal in public! 💀 One second you're innocently checking a server status, and suddenly you're the main character in "CSI: Cyber" to everyone around you! The sheer AUDACITY of these non-tech mortals to think that black screens with colorful text equals "hacking the mainframe" or whatever they think we do! Meanwhile you're just desperately trying to explain that running ls -la is NOT the same as breaking into the Pentagon's secret files! The biblical mob scene at the bottom is SENDING ME! Nothing says "modern tech literacy" like being one command prompt away from the villagers showing up with torches and pitchforks! 🔥

When a site tells you "your new password can't be the same as your old password," they're supposed to be comparing hashed values, not storing your actual password in plaintext. If they know what your old password was , they've already failed Security 101. The fact that a Fortune 500 company did this is like finding out your bank keeps everyone's money in a shoebox under the receptionist's desk. Ten years in tech and I'm still amazed at how many multi-billion dollar companies can't figure out basic password security.

The first part of this authentication function is actually doing its job—checking if the password matches. But then comes the security masterpiece: if (true == true) . Congratulations, you've created the digital equivalent of a bouncer who checks your ID and then lets you in anyway because "yep, gravity still works!" This function will authenticate literally anyone who gets past the first check... or fails it and just keeps trying. Security experts hate this one weird trick!

That first hit of AI-generated code feels like pure magic. "Look at all this productivity!" Then reality sets in. What AI gives you in quantity, you pay back with interest in quality control. Sure, it wrote 10,000 lines in minutes, but now you're the poor soul who has to untangle that algorithmic spaghetti, patch the security holes big enough to drive a truck through, and explain to management why the project timeline just went from "done" to "we're just getting started." The hidden tax of instant code is always paid in developer tears.
