absolutely appalling figuring it out, it really was "it can't be this stupid, I must be understanding it wrong"

More than two decades ago, I dabbled a bit in PHP, MySQL etc. for hobbyist purposes. Even back then, I would have taken stronger precautions, even for some silly database on hosted webspace. Apparently, some of those techbros live in a different universe.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
