Security? We Store That In Local Storage Too

firebase-memes, authentication-memes, security-memes, localstorage-memes, saas-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

When your SaaS business is running on a shoestring budget, but security is just a suggestion! Nothing says "enterprise-grade" like storing your entire user authentication data in the browser's local storage where anyone with F12 and 3 brain cells can access it.

Firebase auth tokens just chilling in plain sight like they're sunbathing on a public beach. Password security? More like "password suggestion."

Who needs proper backend authentication when you can just hope nobody knows how to open dev tools? This is what happens when "move fast and break things" meets "I learned coding from a $12.99 Udemy course that was 80% off."

People Just Want Freedom

The digital world's version of "the grass is always greener." Chinese netizens tunneling through firewalls to post on Twitter while Americans are setting up digital disguises to doom-scroll TikTok dances. It's like we're all sneaking into each other's digital prisons while our governments play whack-a-mole with our IP addresses. The ultimate irony of internet freedom—we're all just trying to access what the other side has blocked. Next up: North Koreans using VPNs to check their LinkedIn notifications.

You Don't Need Environment Variables

The absolute madlad who hard-codes their API keys directly into the front-end JavaScript where anyone can see it with a quick inspect element. Security? What's that? Just a suggestion, like speed limits and code comments. Nothing says "I trust the internet" like broadcasting your AWS credentials to every single visitor. Next level: storing passwords in plaintext because "hashing is just extra work."

Santa's List Final_3.txt

The North Pole's security practices are straight out of 2005. Storing billions of PII records in plaintext? Classic rookie mistake. Some poor elf clicked a suspicious "Free Candy Cane Gift Card" email, and now Santa's entire database is on the dark web. The naughty/nice list just became the biggest data breach in history. Imagine the GDPR fines if Santa operated in the EU. No amount of milk and cookies can fix this PR nightmare.

The Windows 10 Apocalypse Countdown

Microsoft as the Terminator coming for Windows 10 users is just *chef's kiss*. Nothing says "upgrade or die" quite like a skeletal killing machine lurking in your doorway. Microsoft's subtle approach to end-of-life notifications consists of... *checks notes*... existential dread and implied violence. And Windows 10 users are just sitting there like frightened children, clutching their perfectly functional OS that doesn't yet have ads in File Explorer. The audacity of wanting to keep using something that actually works! Next they'll be telling us we need to pay a subscription for Notepad.

The Double Standard Of AI Theft

The double standard in AI ethics is absolutely wild. Artists get the angry flower treatment when AI scrapes their artwork without permission, but suddenly everyone's a calm little daisy when GitHub Copilot yoinks thousands of lines of GPL-licensed code. The difference? Programmers aren't considered "real artists" despite crafting elegant algorithms that would make Picasso jealous. Next time someone says "it's just code," remind them their entire digital life runs on that "just code" someone wrote. The irony is we'll probably use AI to generate the angry tweets about AI stealing our code.

How To Sleep (Or Not)

Brain: "Hey you goin' to sleep?" Dev: "Yes, now shut up" Brain: "You committed the API Keys to a public repo" Nothing jolts a developer from the edge of sleep like remembering they accidentally pushed sensitive credentials to GitHub. That moment when your brain reminds you that your AWS keys are now visible to every bot scraping public repos, and your company credit card is about to fund someone's crypto mining operation in Siberia. Sweet dreams!
