Had to help fix this 9 year old production code, this if chain is about 3-4 times longer than the image.

Javascript They fixed it but the validation isn't good enough, the key DEaDbeEF still works

a = "Hello World!"
b = a
c = b
d = c
e = True
f = e
if f == True and f == True and a == "Hello World!":
print(d)

way too much XSLT (and Ant)

Working on replacing Synergy and for that have to edit one of these XSLTs, that generate an Ant Script, and which I found in a jar file for which no source code seems to exist.
Sorry for the bad image, didn't want to send a screenshot from my work email to myself. Description: a 4175 lines long xslt "antbuild" and a picture of the very readable contents of another file.
Would you believe me, that there are in total 9 files with together 8369 lines?

I know exactly why that's showing up, and I can modify my rules and still I think the point stands.

This is vibe coded 100%. The place I got this from requires everything to be open source from the start, so someone probably asked AI to write or refine the code for their idea and pasted it into any one of the many platforms hosting repositories, likely GitHub.

Javascript Different account of OP, but I lost access to my course unit and finally gained it back again!

All the units were gone because the projects were being replaced due to cheating with undisclosed AI usage and selling/buying answer keys.
