Is that comment followed by just-good-enough code that somebody should go back and rewrite?

Quote: make USB safer and easier to use by bringing it to the Web
I may have missed something, but on what planet does this make any rational sense?

Cue jokes about the seventh planet...
But I heartily concur with your sentiments.

At last! Everything is safer when it's on the web!

Come on now, this isn't a bad idea.
I mean, it has to be in an HTTPS context, right? That's, like, more secure than ring 0!

WTF indeed.
"But most importantly this will make USB safer and easier to use by bringing it to the Web."
Has USB ever been dangerous?
But look, don't be too hard on this guy, he is trying to build his Microsoft career on this crap.

And connecting it to the net is going to make all the difference is it?

Noooooo! This must be prevented! He could fry the internets! :bwa!:

Right, so its an RNDIS USB device that gives the PC a new route to its IP address, and sniffs for cookies.
Now tell me, how is 'WEB USB' going to make that any safer?

I don't think either of us were saying that connecting USB to the net would make it any safer. We're just responding to your question:

It sounds like they're talking about USB drivers for Linux. I haven't had to go to a website to download a USB driver for Windows in years. Many years.
But just try and get some USB device on Linux to work, yeah, 3 days and 15 drivers later, it still doesn't work.

How is different from installing driver?
now we do same thing, driver be downloaded
someone still have to make driver even with this webusb? can make harmful driver and steal data so not safer?

Said website is for Psychology 120, as I need to participate in research studies for credits.
I (along with numerous other students) couldn't log in, as we would get an invalid credentials error, no matter what (and yes they were valid).
Yesterday I found out that the issue was a very messed up validation function that failed for seemingly random valid inputs and succeeded for seemingly random invalid inputs.
The function was only supposed to be one line, sent to the person in an email (copy and paste), calling a REST service to match the user ID against the database. The person writing it somehow managed to mess that up and break the site.
The function was apparently about 300 lines when the idjit was done.
Messing something simple like that up requires a special kind of stupid. How do you mess up a F****** ONE LINE FUNCTION, WHEN THE ACTUAL CODE WAS GIVEN TO YOU?!?

Gimme codez plzzz, its urgntzzz
On a crazy but serious note:
Scenario one: the mouse can be a bitch and deselect part of the text you have to copy, then if you delete the message and you empty the trash-bin before you paste the copied code... you might end in a situation where you have to finish the code you were given, having no idea of how to do it.
Scenario 2: You copy while you have a remote desktop open, and someone else have filled the clipboard with other kind of code. Then you paste the wrong content due to the remote desktop bug, you don't checked at all what you are pasting and you deploy something compilable that makes no f***ing sense in that place.
And no... it didn't happen to me (but a colleague in other land). I have only suffered the consequences of both scenarios and had to repair one of them  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I think that the code which tested your login credentials against every bank site was a friendly security feature, not a bug.
I'm not sure how else I would personally squeeze 300 lines of of a login check.
