Coding With Eslint

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.

The classic gatekeeping of modern web dev culture, where if you're not churning out todo apps in every new framework that drops, you're basically a dinosaur. Because nothing says "cutting edge developer" like building the same CRUD app for the 47th time, except now it's in the latest flavor-of-the-month framework with 12 layers of abstraction. The todo app has become the "Hello World" of our generation, except instead of learning the basics, we're just proving we can configure webpack for 6 hours straight. You don't vibe with rewriting the same list functionality in React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Qwik, and whatever else launched this morning? Sorry, you're getting left behind in the dust with your "stable production code" and "actual business value."

Expectation: "Lightweight and performant, just the way I like it." *smiles in Mr. Incredible* Reality: *horrified face* as your "simple" app balloons from 25MB to a monstrous 739MB. Nothing says "modern web development" quite like shipping an entire Chrome browser with your calculator app. Your 2GB RAM laptop is sweating nervously in the corner while you explain to users that your "lightweight" app just needs a quick 800MB download. But hey, at least it's cross-platform!
