The reality is people get laid off or fired for all sorts of reasons. This is the IT equivalent of setting fire to the equipment that you used to build something and the production prototype and walking out the door thinking you can just just leave and get away with it.
In this guy’s fantasy he would be doing 10 to 20 years of prison time if he gets caught and charged with both state and federal crimes. And let’s be real, he’ll definitely get caught.
So how did you test it?

Syntax error on line 1Shit…
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
this is why we should code backdoors while working !
Exactly. Social media ruined some people. You build your backdoor and do this shit well after you’re gone… And if you ever brag to a stranger, you did it for the wrong reasons.
ways to be sued to suicide 1145.
I know it’s a meme but I’d notify the lawyer before coding that, they’ll laugh themselves silly. Electronic vandalism is still vandalism only the damages are higher.
If I damage $25k worth of stuff that’s my problem
If I damage $25 million worth of code that’s my former employer’s problem
Until a judge rules that you’ll be paying that back over the rest of your life so every month a large court-orderd chunk of your paycheck will leave your account.
You missed my point entirely…
It will still be made your problem by the judge even if your employer doesn’t recover that money will still end up being paid to the majority shareholders.
That is unless you were planning to live without income or decide not to continue living.
What precisely about your point did I miss?
Mmmm yes but if you detonate a truck bomb you will die as well 😏🤔 you might destroy your employer but you will destroy yourself in the process as well! ☝️🤓 Which would be very bad for you! And if you survived the judge would surely throw the book at you 😏
So you’re suicidal?
Look I’m all for fucking over the corpo bastards but if you’re planning on sacrificing yourself because you truly think an ideal or cause is worth more than your life you’d be better off destroying the backups, blowing up the offices, and Luigi-ing the entire board of directors.
OR find some other way to fuck them over that doesn’t sacrifice your own life.
Go touch grass
You generally can’t pursue someone for debt after a bankruptcy declaration, depending on the country. So if you’re 25M in debt, you go bankrupt and they can’t chase you for any more. You lose all your current assets, but at least you can rebuild a life. Still, rough path to choose.
That’s not how judicial fines work, they know most people don’t have that amount in the bank so there’s zero point asking for the lump sum. Their aim is to disincentivise future “vandals” by making an example out of the first one. You won’t be able to escape the payments which will be unavoidable due to bankruptcy because a portion of your wages will be garnished so that you’ll have just enough to survive but the rest you’ll be paying back for the rest of your life.
Look what’s happening to that cunt Alex Jones, he can’t escape the settlement to the Sandy Hook families by bankruptcy so he’s doing everything he can to hide his income and assets and appeal the judgement.
But if AI executes it…
If AI is so smart (it’s not) it can take your job, then it should clearly recognize what is clearly meant as a joke…
You could probably make it look like an accident. “I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there”
Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.
That’s actually somewhat plausible, I saw a vid earlier today from some one talking about how their work coding AI agent noticed that their NPM was set to only update package dependencies 7 days after release because ya know best security practices and all that
It “helpfully” set it to 0 because they would miss top features otherwise LMAO
The front end industry is pathologically obsessed with newness. So much unproductive churn.
“This project is DEAD! It hasn’t had a major release in THREE MONTHS!”
“This is the same API this framework had TWO YEARS AGO!”Today, I tried to prevent Claude from reading my .env files. This was pretty easy and worked, but now Claude was just writing php snippets to get config values set by this .env.
(I have to use ai for work, personally I never use it)
I’m only just learning, but my approach is to essentially built a bunch of functions around every prompt. I just too many stories of AI deleting everything to trust it to run without checks upon checks upon checks.
beautiful. i light up my nearest warehouse to the author
Having a criminal defense lawyer on standby is considered best practice.
Better yet, a criminal defense lawyer.
I got laid off almost 2 years ago. I now work for the same company again working fewer hours at much higher pay. Layoffs aren’t necessarily the end, and they can very much be the start of renegotiating your position
Yea, this is the reason I held my tongue when the company CEO who laid me off last year (Who I worked directly under) posted something about investing in the people who further their goals. Because I had a bunch of very snarky I could have clapped back with, but I decided to not burn the bridge
You should write a book.
I know entire departments that share the same story.
I’d pretend to read it for sure
I’m already pretending to read their work. But for now it’s just comments…
I’m pretending to read pretend comments about a pretend book about a pretend situation!
This guy will never be pro union.
Posting pragmatic advice of “don’t burn bridges” on a post advocating for committing career-ending crimes against your former employer is somehow anti-union? Da fuq?
I would also call it “Sue me lol” button
i am pretty sure he’s smart enough to understand this. more people should be willing to make these decisions despite personal costs, otherwise we are proving everyone right who says americans are complacent etc etc
Pretty sure it’s just a joke post. Someone smart enough to make something like that is also smart enough to not put a neon sign over themselves with a post like that - if they were serious, I mean.
The goal is to cause more damage than you’d ever be able to repay in your life.
I did that in the bathroom
It’s not just the smell, it’s the poverty
You could still end up like Gary Bowser getting wages garnished for life by Nintendo, or in prison.
Did I stutter? (Using that comically), but seriously, it comes to a point where it doesn’t matter what happens to you. You know you’ll end up in prison, you know you’ll have to pay it back, but if you’re gonna do it, make sure that it’s something that will be a net loss to them (or their insurers).
Well yeah, that’s why it automatically calls his lawyer. Edit: That and also the likely criminal charges.
Yeah. Maybe call your lawyer before publishing the company code base so they can tell you not to do that.
big companies leeching off open source and getting their products leaked after a single phishing mail never stops being entertaining
Oops, silly me, getting tricked by phishing emails after hearing we were all being laid off. Teehee
i mean, that’s legitimately why they escort you out immediately after telling you you’re fired. most people can be responsible but there’s always that one shitass
I hate AI. But this should realistically be called a “arrest me” button.
Yes, you’re correct, fighting back often requires personal sacrifices.
Suggestion: instead of doing all that directly, the button adds these instructions to the SKILLS file and hope some AI take the bait one day.
Nah. Let him go full nuke!
That’s why you’re usually put on garden leave immediately after being told. Or if in the US, just straight up kicked out I guess.
What’s garden leave, it’s the first time I hear that expression
You get paid, but you’re not allowed to come to work. You’re banned from the workplace, usually as a security/safety measure, but because of labour laws or contractual obligations they can’t stop paying you yet.
“See you just press this button right here and oh shitshitshITSHIT”
