Regarding security:

You wrote an app that prints a quote in fancy fonts and colors in the terminal. Your code uses a library to format the text. The library attempts to read and/or write files that might contain secrets, then makes a network connection to an external address.

Contrived and silly example, but I think it illustrates the premise well.
