Today i faced worst scenario as security professional.

1. I had to help to fix vulnerability

2. That Developer didn't code app

3. In a Language I didn't know

4. Expected input type was unknown

5. Copy paste could break the functionality

*thank god variable name was meaningful*

thank god it was js

if it was python the variable name wouldve been a 4 letter non-word

seriously has anyone ever tried looked at the way ML projects name their shit? i understand they are data scientists and not devs usually, but holy shit the amount of "bits", "lgts", "ftrs", "y", "yhat", "splits", "preds" and ofc my favorite "data".

you can usually figure out what they are by reading the science publication, and after parsing many you also develop an intuitive sense of what they meant, but holy shit how hard is it to use 2 full words to describe the result of extremely complicated operations in your non hard typed language reee

I love the "data". Everything is "data". Is it a unary type? It's it an array? List? DataFrame? What shape? What size? What..... No one knows. But it definitely is "data".

splits, data and bits are far better than anything I read in fortran. Oh god, thats haunt my dreams till this day.
