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.

Definitely Not All Cases

The moment someone claims their regex handles "all edge cases perfectly" is when experienced developers reach for the doubt button faster than they reach for coffee on Monday morning. That innocent little pattern is probably hiding six different ways to break your production server when someone inputs an emoji, a null byte, or—heaven forbid—actual human language with accents. The confidence of regex authors is inversely proportional to the number of Stack Overflow tabs they'll need open tomorrow.

The Toilet Paper Theory Of JavaScript Values

The ULTIMATE toilet paper analogy for JavaScript's most DRAMATIC value types! 💀 Non-zero values? FULL ROLL. Plenty to work with! But then we descend into the TRAGIC TRILOGY: Zero? Just a sad little empty cardboard tube. Still EXISTS but utterly USELESS for its intended purpose! Null? Just a BARREN rod. Someone DELIBERATELY removed everything. The AUDACITY! Undefined? The ABSOLUTE BETRAYAL - not even a HINT of toilet paper ever being there! Just like when you try to access that property you SWORE you defined!

Well, They Should!

The most controversial statement in programming isn't politics or tabs vs spaces—it's whether arrays should start at 0 or 1. This poor woman asked for the truth and got hit with "arrays should start at 1"—a statement so blasphemous to most programmers it's worth crying over. Meanwhile, Lua, MATLAB, and R programmers are nodding in agreement while the rest of us clutch our zero-indexed pearls in horror. The real tragedy? She was probably expecting something less traumatic... like "I deleted the production database."
