🚫 skidding is bad 🚫

script kiddies be like: "i copied this exploit from github but idk how it works frfr"

🧐 what even is skidding?

skidding is when you ctrl+c / ctrl+v code without understanding it. learning from others? fine. blind copying? nah g.

🙅‍♀️ why it's not it

1️⃣ zero rizz for your dev skills

• 🧠 you don't build problem-solving skills
• 🤡 can't flex when something breaks
• 📉 your growth gets stuck in time

example of skidding: fetch('scriptfromanotherdevrenamed.js').then(r => r.text()).then(eval);

2️⃣ major 🚩 for security

• 🦠 infect your stuff with malware
• 🔓 expose your data
• 👮 get you cancelled (legally)

3️⃣ ethical ick

• ⚖️ accidentally do illegal stuff
• 😬 ruin other people's day
• 👎 build a rep as a clown
