Electron App Devs Right Now

Spot the rebel! While every good programmer follows the sacred tradition of creating a "Hello World" as their first program, someone decided to go full chaotic evil with wazzup.php . It's like showing up to a formal wedding in a Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops. The rest are all variations of the programmer's initiation ritual across different languages—from the classic C/C++ to the more exotic Lisp, Forth, BASIC, and even Zig. But that PHP dev just had to be different. Probably the same person who uses tabs instead of spaces and puts the opening brace on a new line.

EVEN WHEN THEY'RE TRYING To COMPENSATE FOR IT, EXPERTS IN ANYTHING WILDLY OVERESTIMATE THE AVERAGE PERSON'S FAMILIARITY WITH THEIR FIELD.

The JavaScript ecosystem has evolved into a bizarre bazaar of utility packages with download counts that would make NASA jealous. We've got packages to check if numbers are odd (1.5M downloads/month), even (712K/month), or negative zero (98M/month)! Meanwhile, "is-primitive" quietly collects 12M downloads monthly for telling us if something is... wait for it... primitive. Revolutionary stuff. But the crown jewel? "kind-of" with a staggering 438M downloads/month to determine a value's type—something JavaScript can do natively with typeof. It's like buying bottled air when you're already outside. The NPM ecosystem: where we collectively decided that typing "number % 2 === 0" was just too much work. And we wonder why our node_modules folder needs its own zip code.
