Ah, JavaScript's type coercion strikes again! The top panel shows the horror of seeing 1 + 1 + 1 = 111 instead of 3. The middle panel reveals the dark side of the force: adding quotation marks turns numbers into strings, causing concatenation instead of addition.

This is why senior devs wake up screaming at night. In JavaScript, "1" + "1" + "1" happily gives you "111" because strings gonna string. Meanwhile, proper languages are watching from a distance, shaking their heads in disappointment.

The final panel shows the acceptance phase of grief that every JS developer eventually reaches. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain who writes parseInt() everywhere just to be safe.
