The Last Goodbye You Never Knew You Said

Nothing says "we take security seriously" like posting your admin credentials on a sticky note that ends up on national TV. That sign literally says "For Microsoft Session We Use Operator Password: Sab001" and then goes on about personal credentials for other systems. Some poor IT admin is having a heart attack right now while frantically resetting passwords across the entire organization. The best security system in the world, defeated by a post-it note and a camera crew. Classic example of why your security policy should include "don't write passwords where millions can see them."

Ah, the moment you find that promising GitHub project with 5k stars, only to discover you need to compile it from source. Suddenly your enthusiasm evaporates faster than RAM in a Chrome tab. The classic developer dilemma: is this cool tool worth the 45 minutes of dependency hell, or should you just keep using your janky workaround that "mostly works"? Nine times out of ten, that project stays uncompiled, forever living in the graveyard of "cool things I'll try someday."

So Microsoft brags about 30% of their code being AI-generated, then pushes an update that kills your SSD. Coincidence? I think not. This is what happens when you let GitHub Copilot write your disk I/O routines. Next update will probably require a blood sacrifice and your firstborn child just to boot up. Remember when updates just fixed things instead of creating exciting new problems? Those were the days...

Ever notice how Windows and Unix admins are basically different species? The left column shows the Windows admin's sacred incantation: "update and shutdown" – because Windows needs to apply those 47 patches and reboot or your machine becomes a digital petri dish. Meanwhile, the Unix/Linux admin on the right smugly performs the superior "update and restart" – keeping that 400-day uptime streak alive because rebooting is for the weak. Their server has been running since the Obama administration and they're proud of it. The subtle difference between shutdown and restart is the digital equivalent of "to-may-to" vs "to-mah-to" except one of them will get you fired when you accidentally take down production.
