Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.

Most languages only take a few minutes to do a “hello world” app.

When you announce you’re comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you’re used to working on.

So a junior dev could very well feel they’ve learned something like react after two days of cramming.

I was trying to agree with you overall in my first comment. That no matter what they try to do, there will be a way around it. Even if it’s as extreme as using a camera to make the copy.

It’s fundamentally impossible to grant read access without copy. And you can always do whatever you want to your copy.

Otherwise, piracy wouldn’t be a thing.

That’s better than some I’ve seen. Like 200 for everything and the text could even be “error”.

Or 500 with the text “invalid input”

It’s a pickup truck. Often drive by assholes who like them but don’t need them
