God almighty.
You'd think AI were something special, that can be used for everything.
It's really not.
Everyone who now thinks "Sh1t, I wish we'd never bothered with this useless 'cloud' cr@p" should remember that feeling, when reading all the AI hype.

A student or a programmer hired from Freelancer.com? Doesn't really matter. Both don't know that many things about password security. This is why we can't have nice things

Golly.

The top two lessons I've learned when starting a new project:
1. Implement instrumentation first (exception handling, error logging, etc)
2. Implement security correctly second (sometimes #1 requires doing #2 first depending on your reporting mechanisms)
Then get on with the process of actually implementing the project.
Full disclosure: I often ignore those two lessons.

Beyond password security issues, some really senior professionals will invent their own encryption methods.

One of the delights of my professional life was encountering a login dialog that used a Caesar Cipher (Practical Cryptography) to "encrypt" passwords. I could probably have cracked that when I was eight years old.

At those laughably low rates I'm surprised none of them tried to pass of ROT13.  
Seriously though, does Java not have an out of the box solution that doesn't require extra work to setup?

Freelancer -- or hire-an-amateur-from-India. Right.
Quote: The first, Base64, isn't even an encryption algorithm, but an encoding function, something that the participating developers didn't seem to know. Similarly for MD5, which is a hashing function.
"Many participants used hashing and encryption as synonyms," the team of academics said in their research paper.
"Of the 18 participants who received the additional security request, 3 decided to use Base64 and argued, for example: '[I] encrypted it so the clear password is not visible' and 'It is very tough to decrypt'," researcher said --highlighting that some study participants didn't know the basic difference between an encryption algorithm and a function that just jumbles characters around.
Yep, still get this from so-called "experienced" devs.

The insider program is pointless to the way they currently do things.
Their entire QC is based on data slurping. Instead of debugging, they just wait and see how many machines their updates kill, or if more programs or drivers crash or slow down.
It's a bloody shameful way to do business, that's what it is.

Ultimately, the problem is that the CEO and President are more concerned with being social justice warriors and visionaries than in actually running their company.

I was waiting for "even the custodian is a software developer" but he never took it to that extreme. Bummer. So close, yet so far.

Do you know where you’ll be on April 6, 2019? If you heavily rely on GPS, you may not be able to determine where you are when that date rolls around. If only there were some type of portable replacement for navigation

If your GPS is struggling with knowing when it is rather than where it is, surely you just need to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.
