Screenshot of a reddit post titled "My team's intern just found a critical bug by shitposting in our codebase" Highlight is that a summer intern saved their entire authentication service by finding a critical bug because he thought the commit messages and comments were too boring, and starting reviewing the code in earnest to add memes to his. As a result, he found a validation bypass bug in a legacy auth system that's been running since before TikTok existed and for which none of the original engineers are still around. He highlights it with the comment: "yo why this token validation looking kinda thicc though fr fr no cap this base64 decode bussin wait... hold up... this ain't bussin at all"
