She was mostly looking for validation, since the guys in the group thought that hashing the passwords on an online banking application is waste of time, and the best way to handle login is to send the whole user database to the front-end so you can match the unhashed password to the correct account

Colleges should lower their limits for stabbing

anyone this dumb will probably also leave themselves as the bagholder when they inevitably fuck up security on prod somewhere.

    Luckily they won't get hired for anything serious (or non-serious)

    IT studies are unfortunately full of people who took "learn to code" to heart the worst way possible

    They go through their studies learning only the surface level shit, because they are interested in the salary, not the work

    In the end they end up with neither and a degree they can't utilize
