send the whole user database to the front-end so you can match the unhashed password to the correct account
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
In the end they end up ~~with neither and a degree they can't utilize~~ as a Delivery Manager for a software consulting firm that charges 5X what their clients' regular employees make
I know fuck all about web development, and even I can see why that is a terrible idea
:data-laughing:
match the unhashed password to the correct account
I want to see how they're managing sessions lmao. Like can I just send 'true' back from the front-end function to access any account?
Every user shares one single bearer token
You could do that or just pick the unhashed password from everyone they conveniently send to you (it's encrypted in the DB so it's secured)
this reminds me of the people who think editing HTML to make tweets/websites say something else is "hacking"
has a flashback to a high school class... something to do with computers
Teacher telling me that I need to stop playing with the Windows screen saver because it can mess up the computer.
I was a menace with computers in like, middle school
wallpaper gags, sticky keys, sending out domain-wide messages, rebooting other PCs remotely, other such pranks
Nothing sophisticated just fun with windows xp
dudes rock
I hope they get hired to do something really important for a major hedge fund or holding company.
This is the way...
Make sure you're SIL keeps tabs on which companies they go work for....
it uh... might come in handy later.
A coworker of mine was working on some programming homework and we chatted about it. He was having trouble adding a b-tree sort function to something. I asked a few questions about how python handles that (it’s what they teach now) and explained how we’d do it in c. Made the mistake of asking “what is this for, course number of the second semester class?” No, he’s graduating in the fall.
I flunked out of computer science twenty years ago.
making fun of people for being bad at coding is dumb
when it progresses into the realm of "4 guys backing each other up that its totally unnecessary and presumably shutting down the SIL trying to correct them," and when literally any research or forethought would show that its a horrible idea, then I don't think it is. It isn't like "can you believe this person isn't 1337 like me" it's "hey can you back me up? otherwise my groupmates are going to tank my grade by being self-deluded arrogant pricks". It's the not listening when being told why its a bad idea that sucks, and the sexism aspect, while this is way too 3rd hand to know for sure, is pretty sus from my experience in comp sci circles
Making fun of techbros who entered the field to circlejerk with their treats is always valid.
Most people do CS because they think they will get paid handsome wages just for playing with their computers and the IT industry wants expendable workers so CS is advertised as a get rich quick scheme.
Most if not all CS students vastly overestimate their abilities and chauvinism is rampant in the field.
Nah
