When your password is "1234" but you're storing your SSH private key with the same passphrase. Nothing screams "I understand security" quite like protecting your cryptographic credentials with the same combination an idiot would have on their luggage.

The real kicker? Half the devs reading this just nervously glanced at their ~/.ssh/id_rsa file. And the other half? They don't even use a passphrase. At least President Skroob here had the decency to try.

Pro tip: If your private key passphrase is something you'd use to unlock your phone, you might as well just commit it to the public repo and save everyone some time.
