"Oh no, we don't need to worry about any sanity checks in the database, that's all taken care of in the javascript frontend"

I didn't come up with that, but it's the same logic. Actually expressing something like it in a professional setting could get you fired.

Not in the games industry, though.

You take longer than that in an action FPS game, your game is fundamentally broken and unplayable.
