Wow, Thanks For The Advice!

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.

This conversation is what happens when you skip the "boring" security lectures in CS class. Our green-text hero thinks decrypting password hashes is just another Tuesday feature request, while orange-text is having an existential crisis trying to explain one-way functions. The best part? Five years of development experience and still wondering why we can't just hand out passwords like candy. That final "I can look it up anytime" after completely misunderstanding basic cryptography is peak developer confidence without competence. This is why your bank account gets hacked, folks. Because somewhere out there, a dev is thinking "who cares if you have the decryption algorithm" while building your financial app. Bruh indeed.

Ah, the classic terminal persecution complex! Nothing says "I'm just trying to check my disk space" like opening a black screen with colorful text in public and suddenly becoming the neighborhood cyber-terrorist. The moment you fire up that bash prompt, everyone within eyesight transforms into a medieval mob ready to burn the witch. You could literally be typing ls -la to check your files, but Karen from accounting is already dialing the FBI because she's convinced you're hacking the Pentagon. Hollywood has a lot to answer for. Twenty years of hackers portrayed as hoodie-wearing villains typing at lightning speed on green-on-black screens has turned us all into suspects. Meanwhile, the real cybercriminals are probably using slick GUIs with beautiful dashboards.

OH. MY. GATES. The security team just had a collective meltdown! Some hardware genius decided to implement an OR gate using ACTUAL PADLOCKS! If one key works, the whole thing opens! It's like writing code with 50 "return true" statements and wondering why your authentication keeps failing! 🔒 This masterpiece of "physical computing" is what happens when someone takes "hardware implementation" WAY too literally. The compression is *chef's kiss* - absolutely terrible! Security through obscurity has never been so rusty and beautiful!

Billionaire discovers basic database concepts, immediately becomes expert. Classic tech CEO move! Someone should tell him government systems are probably running on COBOL from the 70s with punch cards as backup. The irony of a rocket scientist who doesn't grasp primary keys is just *chef's kiss*. Next week: Elon discovers that computers use electricity and declares it a conspiracy.

Ah, the classic integer overflow exploit, but for babies! This programmer parent found the ultimate life hack - exploiting the Social Security system like it's a poorly coded video game from the 90s. Give your newborn a dollar, wait for their SS number, then take it back to create a negative balance that wraps around to the maximum 32-bit integer value ($2,147,483,647). It's basically SQL injection but for parenting. This is what happens when developers become parents - they immediately start looking for edge cases in government systems. Forget college funds, just find buffer overflows!
