I was just in a literal CVS an hour ago and they have a sign on the receipt printer that says “please don’t grab receipt until it is done printing.” It’s like, shouldn’t the fact that you had to write a sign like that be an indicator that you’re printing out too much shit?
Why does everything require “pov:”?

Nobody:
Bound check all data input, folks.
Ideally during input and on the API request.
Try to make sure the “choose a password” field allows fewer chars than the “enter your password” field.
Input sanitization is important, y’all
And setting upperbound limits on input length. Because if you expose it to users, it’s not a matter of if some joker will insist on entering precisely 4,294,967,297 bytes of random data into it to see if they can crash your shit, it’s a matter of when.
10 print “Hello, world!”
20 goto 10
I hope the prankster typed all that out with his thumbs. No copy paste allowed.
So the intern who hacked up the order website forgot a size limit on that field? Maybe one should check out what other things he messed up…
he didn’t, was some coding AI
I don’t think so. If it was AI, it would not even print the order…
