While I agree with the brute force attack point of view, the more up-to-date concensus is that a BF attack will definitely take well over houndred attempts, even dictionary attacks will take more than 5. So usually the artificial delay should appear only as a result of several incorrect attempts. We have UX even in security!

I can add to that - I hate when some stupid site like news site where I want to leave comments asks to register with fucking full name and password requires numbers, special character. Fuck you such site owners. What fuck the attarker will want to steal my commenting account? if if he steals, thats my problem if I used weak password. If I know that account is important for me then I will fukcing chooose strong password.
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
To all the websites that take more than 2 seconds to figure out whether your username/password combination is correct,
FUCK YOU.
I don't want to watch your sorry ass fucking shitty application server try to figure out if I entered my fucking credentials correctly for 50 fucking seconds since I have to try them multiple times because I have visited your worthless fucking website like once or twice and couldn't remember the password well.
