Everyone Told Java Not To Script

The ultimate dad joke of programming languages! Despite sharing zero DNA with Java, JavaScript was named purely for marketing hype in the 90s. It's like naming your hamster "Tiger" because it sounds cooler. The sinister grin in the image perfectly captures Netscape's devious marketing team knowing they were about to confuse generations of developers with this naming atrocity. The relationship between Java and JavaScript is basically the same as car and carpet – superficially similar words describing completely unrelated things. Yet here we are, 25+ years later, still explaining to non-programmers that no, we can't fix their Java problem with our JavaScript skills.

I Hate When Someone Does This

Left side: if (x) - Clean, elegant, gets the job done. The face of a developer who writes efficient code and doesn't waste keystrokes. Right side: if (x == true) - The haunting visage of someone who also types "ATM machine" and enters their "PIN number" at the "LCD display." Probably uses light mode in their IDE too. The explicit comparison is redundant since the condition already evaluates to a boolean. It's like ordering a "hamburger with meat" - we know, that's what makes it a hamburger.

Every Legend Has A Weakness

Samson lost his power when his hair was cut. Achilles was invincible except for his heel. And junior programmers? They're completely defenseless against Webpack and Docker. Nothing quite like watching a new dev's soul leave their body during their first container orchestration meeting. "Just configure your dependencies in the yaml file" might as well be "just perform brain surgery with a spork." The real hero's journey isn't slaying monsters—it's surviving the first deployment without having an existential crisis.
