It’s about giving you a brainworm. When it’s time for you to sign up with an insurance company, you’re most likely going to remember the insurance commerical that was the most ridiculous or unique. It’s not even about advertising a product anymore. It’s about jamming that little token into your brain so you’ll remember them later.

Printing debug messages didn’t do much for me for this one time where a class was overflowing a buffer right in the constructor, and everything was fine creating an instance of it, passing it around, etc., until I actually go to use one of its methods later on in the program and it crashes.

Or maybe I haven’t worked on anything complex enough, I dunno.

Maybe I should keep it a hobby and not pursue a career. That kind of shit would mess with me. I tend to pour my heart and soul into my programming.
It’s eventually going to have to be stored in plaintext somewhere. Where are you then putting the encryption key for the encryption keys and how do you start the chain of decryption without the first key?
