Security isn't binary, it's a spectrum. You apply the level of security that is appropriate for each situation.

Of course it's *possible* to brute force it, but by the same logic you could brute force jwt tokens, or api keys, or even ssl certs.

It's literally *impossible* to apply "max security" to everything, so you have to prioritize.

What happened was unconscionable, but insisting uuid are mathematically breakable isn't helpful, and can make it worse.

@EmilyIsTrans @lena

sounds like firebase itself is a hack.

I'm honestly embarrassed by my fellow devs more often than not these days.

What the fuck happened to craftsmanship? Or taking pride in your work?

oh right, techbro startup culture garbage ended it.

@Vince @KickMeElmo malbolge is computationally intense to generate. It's self-modifying, is ternary instead of binary, and after each operation the next opcode gets replaced by its mod 94 value.

It's like the insane sudoku of coding.

Well hey at least React is known to be really secure with sensible package management.

Oh wait I spelled Rust wrong.

Right?

pretty sure there are more possible chess positions than atoms in the earth (universe?), so even if every atom of our planet were converted to transistors there'd be no way to fully represent all possibilities.
