Thinking about this a bit deeper, it's a pretty good system for explaining a bunch of technologies to others (those mentoring, etc). There's the reason why it's not possible to win via the front door, how basic client side JS apps are put together, basics of using debugging tools...

#35There is like... four people I know I could send this to who'd laugh, it's so niche. Yet I also laughed out loud when I got how conventionally impossible it is.
I ended up crossposting it to the few security rooms I'm in for quick laughs

I did not know about the debugger statement until I read your comment: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... . Thank you.
Massively useful! I also recently learned you can right click a line of code in the chrome debugger to add a logpoint - i.e. "log the value of this expression when you reach this point in the code" - so I don't have to manually add console.log statements. Basically the reverse of discovering the debugger statement!
This was news to me too

I laughed so hard

#39My wife was looking at me when I opened this.
“What are you grinning at?”
I just locked my phone and put it face down on the table…

My first guess was "friend", a la the Doors of Durin.
