Skeletor's Web Security Naming Crusade

When your resume is just a list of tech companies that imploded right after you left. Nothing suspicious here, folks. Just a trail of digital catastrophes following this person like a shadow. Netflix sports streaming that doesn't exist yet, CrowdStrike's Windows update disaster, Google's Gemini historical figure fiasco, Silicon Valley Bank collapse, and FTX's crypto meltdown. Hiring managers will definitely not notice this pattern of working at companies right before they face existential crises. Solid career strategy - join, collect paycheck, abandon ship, repeat.

Ah, the classic tech industry paradox! A grocery store wants a sysadmin with Cisco certifications, Azure experience, VMware skills, on-call hours, AND the ability to lift 50 pounds... all for the princely sum of $23.80/hour ($49,504/year). That's like asking someone who can build a nuclear reactor to also flip the burgers at the cafeteria for minimum wage. The real cherry on top? "Occasional lifting" and "on-call weekends" - because nothing says "we value your 7+ years of specialized technical expertise" like making you haul servers around and fix the CEO's printer at 2am on a Sunday for less than what some entry-level developers make. This is the tech equivalent of "we're looking for a brain surgeon with 10 years experience who also does plumbing, for the competitive salary of whatever we found in the couch cushions."

Top panel: Normal human being using proper random modules like a functioning member of society. Bottom panel: The unhinged developer who thinks return 4 is a perfectly acceptable random number generator because "it was randomly chosen by me, so technically it's random." Somewhere in production, a critical system is running on hardcoded "randomness" and nobody has noticed yet.

The kid's "brute-force attack protection" is pure evil genius. While everyone's freaking out over his code, he's just sitting there with that smug little grin. His masterpiece? A login system that shows "Wrong login or password" even when the password is correct—but ONLY on the first attempt. It's basically digital psychological warfare. Every developer in that room just died inside imagining the hours of debugging hell this would cause. The coffee guy spitting out his drink is all of us realizing we'd probably format our entire machine before finding this little gem.

When your validation logic is too aggressive. Tony Hawk gets deleted because "that can't be the real Tony Hawk" and Dallas Tester gets nuked because an airline's regex thinks he's a test account. Classic case of overzealous input sanitization that treats legitimate edge cases as security threats. This is why we can't have nice names in production. Somewhere, a developer is adding if(name != "Tony Hawk" && !name.includes("test")) to their validation code and calling it a day.

Open a terminal in public and suddenly you're the digital equivalent of a witch in Salem. Just trying to check disk space but the crowd's already gathering kindling. Non-tech folks see those colorful command lines and immediately assume you're either hacking the Pentagon or summoning digital demons. The number of times I've had to explain that "sudo apt update" isn't actually breaching national security is frankly exhausting.
