The eternal love triangle of debugging! While proper breakpoints sit there begging to be used, we're all guilty of turning our heads for the quick and dirty console.log affair. Sure, the debugger offers sophisticated relationship features like variable inspection and step-through execution, but nothing beats the instant gratification of spamming "IT WORKS HERE" and "WHY GOD WHY" throughout your code. It's like choosing fast food over a proper meal - we know it's bad for us, but we just can't help ourselves.

Ah, the classic UI vs UX distinction illustrated perfectly! On the left, we have UI (User Interface) - pretty toys dangling above a crib that make designers and stakeholders squeal "I love it!" while the actual user (the baby) is completely ignored. Meanwhile, on the right, we have UX (User Experience) - where the user is literally strapped to a medieval torture device and spun around like a rotisserie chicken. Because nothing says "we care about your experience" like making you dizzy, disoriented, and ready to vomit. This is basically every "redesigned" app after the UX team decides to "improve" the workflow you finally got used to.

Someone enthusiastically introduces their favorite language, and JavaScript immediately demonstrates why it's both loved and mocked in equal measure. The plus operator does string concatenation ("11" + 1 = "111"), while the minus operator coerces to numbers ("11" - 1 = 10). Totally logical and not confusing at all. JavaScript's type coercion is like that friend who tries to be helpful but just makes everything worse. The language sees a plus sign and thinks "maybe they want strings?" but sees a minus sign and goes "definitely numbers here." It's the programming equivalent of a chaotic neutral alignment.

However, 2 equal signs makes a comparison. So 1 1 will return True while 1 2 will return False. 17 icneto 2h And then you have JavaScript with to make sure that your elephant is not an orange. 5 J
