Different context, but I sent a message like that in Signal the other day to a family member with a link to my IP, pointing to `Python -m http.server` running in a directory with a file for them to try (1). Easier than having them open my Samba share.

1: To get an Android app working that has been delisted and requires a 'key' app that you purchase. We did purchase it, but didn't think to make any backups.

reminds me of telling a friend:

I hacked your system: file:///etc/passwd

There was a Userfriendly comic with Miranda telling some ‘hacker’ “my IP addy is 127.0.0.1, come get some”.

Wait until they discovered the port number could go over 9000

> I've been getting this weekly from colleagues. It's very much an epidemic right now! And the port number is indeed almost always a random number between 8000 and 8100.

Really? A bit hard to believe, unless you have many dumb colleagues.

Not sure about dumb, but "not giving a shit" for sure. I routinely see tickets with markdown links to files on their local filesystem, drives me insane how someone can pull shit like this with a straight face.

A lot of people here have colleagues who are playing with Claude Code but who have essentially no experience with development at all.

It’s not at all surprising. Not everyone is a developer.
