๐ซ skidding is giving cringe ๐ซ
โ ๏ธ script kiddies be like:
"i copied this exploit from github but idk how it works frfr"
๐ง what even is skidding?
skidding is when you ctrl+c / ctrl+v code without understanding it. learning from others? slay. blind copying? nah fam.

โโ๏ธ why it's not it
1๏ธโฃ zero rizz for your dev skills
when you just copy pasta:
- ๐ง you don't build problem-solving skills
- ๐คก can't flex when something breaks
- ๐ your growth gets stuck in 2016
๐ skidding be like:
fetch('sketchy-script.js').then(r => r.text()).then(eval);
2๏ธโฃ major ๐ฉ for security
using random code can:
- ๐ฆ infect your stuff with malware
- ๐ expose your data
- ๐ฎ get you cancelled (legally)
3๏ธโฃ ethical ick
many script kiddies:
- โ๏ธ accidentally do illegal stuff
- ๐ฌ ruin other people's day
- ๐ build a rep as a clown
"with great tech skills comes great responsibility" - some nerd, probably
โจ how to do it right
๐ big brain moves:
1. actually read the code
2. google what you don't get
3. tweak it to learn
4. make your own version (this is the way)
๐ benefits of not skidding
- ๐ช actually good at debugging
- ๐ฐ get that bag (better jobs)
- ๐ก๏ธ don't get hacked
- ๐ฅ build original projects that pop off
โ take the pledge
commit to not being a clown ๐คก
