I remember my first day of my first professional programming job back in 1996. I had just learned SQL that morning (which I'd never even heard of before) and that afternoon I forgot to add a WHERE clause to a DELETE command. Good times ...

Fortunately this was in production and not in any important environment like development or test.

Guys I asked ChatGPT for a secure code for my website; is this correct:

if getting.hacked == true; don't

Most InfoSec researchers are unaware that most hackers can be stopped by saying "please."

Good that you escaped wrong, or you would have nuked your .bashrc.

\ comes before the thing you are escaping
