And comments. A lot of comments. Humans know it's not a good practice and try not to write them. AI generates comments explosion. Like c = a+b // adds a and b and stores in c

Can I ask what project did you work on? What as it something front-end related?

Wait, did you writet this response with AI? Lol

Software systems have infinite vulnerabilities, and with countless hackers looking for a quick profit, sensitive data is always at risk. I have learned this participating in and preparing for the the CTF challenge.
So be safe everyone!

But sometimes, to learn something, you don’t need to get everything right. Breaking things is a great way to learn too.

#CTF #Git

At first, all of these tasks took me hours to get right.

Turns out, what was my past failure became my present asset.

But hey! I learned something new from pros: since Git is essentially a database, you can dump all of its contents into a single file using a simple batch script

And I was right. About every single one of them. (I was very impressed with myself.)

How did I know?

I messed up so many times: accidentally deleting branches and restoring them, resolving nightmare conflicts, juggling multiple branches without committing to the right one.

One of the wildest challenges?
📂 Given: A PNG file
🎵 Hidden: Two audio files in its metadata
🔍 Clue: One file contained hints, the other - random noise
📊 Trick: The hints led to drawing a spectrogram—revealing the flag!
Okay, maybe this one wasn’t exactly security-related, but it was mind-blowing!

@athackctf was all about solving hacking challenges—a mix of fun, competition, and meeting incredible people. From forming a team with diverse backgrounds to tackling challenges together, it was a perfect way to grow while having fun.

Additionally, I know that security is essential for a software developer, and I wanted to dive into it. But where do you find the mental energy for even more focused learning?

Simple: learn through play.

Yeah, not Physics, it won't do it.

Our industry is flooded with AI-generated code & a lack of proper junior training. We need devs who can think critically, review code, and mentor others.

If not game jams, how do you keep yourself challenged?

Had it as a hobby when I was a teen. Fell in love when I tried to make a VR game

4/ That’s why I’m preparing for a security-focused hackathon next year and the Global Game Jam—the biggest game jam in the world—in just a month. These events combine learning, collaboration, and fun, and I couldn’t be more excited to take part!

3/ I’ve explored many ways to make programming fun. My top three? Participating in hackathons, diving into game jams, and writing mods for my favorite games. These activities challenge me, spark creativity, and add a sense of adventure to my work.

2/ Fun keeps me engaged, motivated, and creative. Without it, coding feels like a chore. Creativity especially thrives on fun—it’s hard to innovate when you’re stressed. For me, making time for fun isn’t optional; it’s a key part of staying inspired and doing great work.
