One of the requirements for bourbon is the mash must be at least 51% corn.

A long time ago I worked at one of the big office supply stores and this was "true" back then too. The caveat was that the ink that came in the printer was usually only half full. The printers themselves were sold at a loss and the companies made their money on selling the ink.

It's simply because it would have been unfair and uninteresting otherwise.

There are a couple that come to mind.

Definitely the worst, a C# .net mvc application with multiple controllers that were 10s of thousands of lines long. I ran sonarqube on this at one point and it reported over 70% code duplication.

This code base actively ignored features in the framework that would have made things easier and instead opted to do things in ways that were both worse, and harder to do. For example, all SQL queries were done using antiquated methods that, as an added benefit, also made them all injectable.

Reading the code itself was like looking at old school PHP, but c#. I know that statement probably doesn't make sense, but neither did the code.

Lastly, there was no auth on any of the endpoints. None. There was a login, but you could supply whatever data you wanted on any call and the system would just accept it.

At the time I was running an internal penetration test team and this app was from a recent acquisition. After two weeks I had to tell my team to stop testing so we could just write up what we had already and schedule another test a couple months down the line.

I once saw an application that would encrypt (not hash, encrypt) passwords but then when a user was logging in, they'd encrypt the password candidate and then compare the cipher texts to see if they were the same. This was using 3des, so no IV.

I just recently joined a company that offers two options for operating systems, Mac or Linux. Windows is explicitly not allowed. Seeing that in my onboarding paperwork was like walking into a warm sunny meadow.

There's a great interview somewhere with the writers of one of these shows talking about how they knew this was shit and they had unofficial competitions with other shows to constantly one up each other on the stupidity.

I absolutely loved how epic rap battles of history handled Michael Bay. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_wYtG7aQTHA&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD

It's for sure becoming a huge topic. And now companies are wanting to add llm agents integrated more tightly into development workflows and build processes.

I'm not really familiar with meshtastic, but this caught my eye on all because I live in SLO county. Looks really cool. I'll have to dig deeper.

This is where it's from https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-january-2022/Those-Seeking-Jehovah-Will-Lack-Nothing-Good/

Basically the message is that in the end times the government will go after JW families in their homes but it's ok because the angels will be there to protect the faithful.
