You have way too much faith in humans.
Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College
Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoIf you’re coding or whatever this is fine. But I would really, really like my doctors and engineers to be educated by other doctors and engineers.

I want coders to learn from trusted sources too. How do you authorize a user? How do you store the password (plain text, hash, encrypt)? Do you use MD5 or SHA-256? (Always hash passwords, don’t use MD5)
If you have to encrypt some information, do you use Triple DES or AES? (never Triple DES)
When authorizing with OAuth, should I send the auth url, client secret, scopes, and redirect url to the client machine? (yes, no, yes, yes)
These are basic questions with obvious answers that are easy to find…and many programmers get them very, very wrong. Mostly out of carelessness, even the question itself didn’t pop into their head.
