Yeah, there's a size limit where "disgruntled/incompetent employee burns everything down" is sufficiently unlikely to not warrant lots of effort on finely grained internal controls.

It's frankly a security nightmare that I have the admin keys to my home personal projects

 Just refer to any frontend framework as "the jQuery"

 I'm honestly impressed the Aboriginals were even doing templating back when their language was developing

I wiped all user inventories in live for an MMO on my first day in my first job in games.

you didn't work for wanadoo by any chance did you? i remember people's DAOC inventories vanishing and them basically having to go "uh, could you tell us what items you had and please be honest?"

Now I'm wondering if there are games out there that simulate a player going through the game.

the players are the unit tests

I like the idea that some stoner somewhere has an inventory full of red mushrooms and no idea why

 10 minutes with the project I'm working on and it's ag-grid implementation and I'm starting to wish it was just pure html tables. We're page loads really that bad?

code:
public dynamic function(dynamic data) {
    int id = (int)(data.id);

....

    return some_string;
}
Stuff like this is everywhere in the codebase I'm reviewing for the job I just started.

one day that function might need to check another data attribute and you're going to look sooooooo stupid adding it in

Put it this way … if you’re writing python today, most likely you’re writing it either in vscode (electron) or pycharm (java).

I think the desktop apps I use regularly (ignoring the browser itself and stuff built into the os) are a pretty even split between electron, java, and native qt. I don’t think any of them are written in python.

pycharm is written in java because jetbrains was written in java, if all you're doing is interfacing with qt then why does it matter what language it's written in?

this is why python2 was superior

Python code:
>>> True=99999    # Large number that we wont ever use
>>> print({1: "foo", True: "bar"})
