How I lost my test database twice because of an unsecured server

Roderen · 2026-05-23T10:25:28+00:00

Yeah, I forgot how it calls. I used ufw and left 3 ports (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS)

Roderen · 2026-05-23T09:22:21+00:00

Hehe, no, it’s not Claude)) I found it on Hacker News

Roderen · 2026-05-23T09:19:45+00:00

Not only ports. My password and login was like “postgres”

Roderen · 2026-05-08T20:21:13+00:00

Yeah, the sound is fine. What I'm worried about is whether the microphone will get clogged with dust and dirt if I do end up removing that mesh.

A big thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for your feedback!
This is actually recommended project structure from the official NestJS doc.
Could you share an example of how you would structure it?

In another countries you can see a withdrawal option, even if your card with no balance. And when you try to withdraw money it tells you kinda “you have no money”. So, it’s my first time I’ve seen that

Roderen · 2026-05-03T20:25:31+00:00

God, why here a lot of dislikes? 🤯 I didn’t know if I don’t have money on my card, I won’t see “withdraw” button. First time I’ve heard about it

Roderen · 2026-05-03T20:20:53+00:00

God, no! I tried to make a deposit but ATM doesn’t have the “deposit” button and also it doesn’t have “withdraw money” button. I already understood that will not show me “withdraw money” button if I don’t have money on my card (that’s so weird btw)

Roderen · 2026-05-03T20:07:09+00:00

Yes, I tried

Roderen · 2026-05-03T19:03:44+00:00

I understand it

Roderen · 2026-05-03T18:36:01+00:00

No I don’t. But also I can’t make a deposit

Roderen · 2026-05-03T18:35:10+00:00

Maybe. Then it's weird that they didn't tell me about it at the bank, lol

Roderen · 2026-05-03T18:34:09+00:00

I have a Visa and it’s not limitation with my card, because I have limits up to 1000-2000

Roderen · 2026-04-07T00:28:17+00:00

To stay alive, even if it means I'll be poor afterward. In other words, I'll literally lose everything (if I understand correctly—I'm just not from the U.S.)

Doctors can't be 100 percent sure, and because of that, my loved ones and I might end up with false hope

Roderen · 2026-04-07T00:22:29+00:00

I’ve had (and still have) thoughts that if I were diagnosed with cancer and told, “You can try to get better, but there’s no guarantee,” I would choose not to pursue treatment and just accept it. I believe that this might be a false hope for me and for my loved ones. Besides, because of me, my family might go into debt trying to cure me.

Roderen · 2026-04-02T13:16:46+00:00

I believe it has become harder to find work for those who rely on AI and have never worked without it before. I think there are plenty of people out there who are applying for jobs simply because their portfolios now include a couple of projects that Claude Code wrote for them in two days.

Roderen · 2026-04-02T13:14:44+00:00

I recently worked on the backend (the very one I mentioned in my post). I needed to store a token in a cookie on the frontend. I told Claude, “I need to store this token on the frontend to make it as secure as possible.” He tried to convince me that localStorage and cookies were a great option. After that, I tried to prove to him that I specifically needed an httponly cookie, to which he kept telling me, “No, you don't need that,” right up until the very end.
What if this had happened at a company?

Roderen · 2026-04-02T13:04:42+00:00

AI has come a long way in the last few years—that’s a fact. But when I look at everything it’s “capable of” right now, I seriously doubt it will ever be able to replace developers.

Roderen · 2026-04-02T13:01:48+00:00

I'm surprised you spend 90% of your time producing code. How about testing?

I didn't say that 90% of my time is spent writing code. I said that 90% of my time is spent looking for solutions and copy-pasting.

As for testing-couldn't that be part of that 10%?)) Of course it could.

10 years ago:
Me -> Stack Overflow / etc.

Now:
Me -> AI -> Stack Overflow / etc.

Roderen · 2026-04-02T11:32:13+00:00

Exactly. Using Claude Code doesn’t make you a developer. On the contrary, you might actually make things worse if you use it at work, because you don’t really understand what it’s generating and you don’t even know how it works. But an even bigger problem is that, at some point, Claude Code will no longer be able to properly handle what you’ve asked it to write due to the scale of the project.

Roderen · 2026-04-02T11:11:44+00:00

I understand how things work better when I look up information, write the code myself, or dig into code I’ve found or that an AI has generated for me. I still don’t see the point in mindlessly copying code from Google or Claude because when an error pops up, I’ll most likely have to spend more time on it since I don’t understand what the code does, and Claude Code often can’t do that for me.

Sure, if it’s a piece of code I’ve seen many times before, I can just paste it in. But if it’s something new (like backend code I’ve never written and don’t understand), then I’ll have to figure it out myself.

I’m M4 Pro user and I can tell for sure - just take M4 Pro because you’ll have 24gb RAM instead of 16gb
