Christ. Imagine if bridges, skyscrapers, dams, cars, airplanes were designed and built like that.

I vibeslopped thousands of pages of blueprints, nobody reviewed them, but another team of digital monkeys with the intellect of an ant have already built the bridge, and it seems to not have collapsed yet, so we're already directing traffic there.

I can't imagine actual engineers feeling anything but deepest contempt for this industry.

It's better than any of them for random bullshit you've found somewhere on the internet since it provides a far stronger security boundary than any standalone pdf reader. For trusted documents, I agree.

Firebird can be embedded, although neither the database itself, nor the embedded mode are as popular as they once were.

It's a fully featured database though, with everything you expect from one, including actually working ALTER TABLEs.

Firefox already has "forget this site", which removes all traces of you ever visiting the site, but it's only available from the history modal.
