Fix Your Bots Guys

The secret sauce to startup valuation in 2024: change your loading spinners to "thinking..." and boom — you're an AI company! Venture capitalists are frantically throwing term sheets at anyone who can make their app pretend to contemplate existence. The best part? The code behind it is still the same janky setTimeout() that's been crashing in production since 2018. But hey, fake it till you make it a unicorn, right?

Content 9:41 A I ON 3 92 38 last seen today at 9:19 am looked into React today to broaden my general design knowledge. Just wanted to get an idea of what I can ask of devs. First time I've done any coding for three years.. Jeez, even getting started was an assault course. OK, need a code editor - download Visual Studio Code. Advice is to then download multiple extensions to improve syntax. Next, apparently I need Yarn. But I first need Homebrew to install Yarn. Download and install homebrew. This takes a while. Install Yarn. Apple then tells me it needs to update xcode. I let it. OK, cool, we're cruising... So I want to view some components. Apparently now I need to install an NPM library, but first I need to download node. I continue typing things into terminal, the meaning of which, I know not. Nearly 45 minutes has passed by this point and I have no idea what I've just done. I'm at literally step one of a tutorial. I go for a run instead. 5:16 pm V haha! fee like a screenshot of that message would get a lot of upvotes on r programmerhumor 5:18 pm Type a message

So you're telling me that accessing an array with a negative index in JavaScript not only works but actually adds a property to the array? And then when you check the array, it shows you this cursed -1: 4 sitting there like it belongs? The bell curve perfectly captures the JavaScript experience: beginners think it's ridiculous (correct), experts also think it's ridiculous (also correct), but the middle crowd has Stockholm syndrome and will defend it with their lives. "It makes sense bro, everything in JS is an object!" Yeah, and that's exactly the problem. JavaScript treats arrays like objects because they are objects, so test[-1] = 4 is just adding a property named "-1" to your array object. It's technically in the spec, which somehow makes it worse.

The elite developer whispering to the junior: "They can debug with breakpoints and watch instead of prints and logs..." Meanwhile, the junior's mind is blown because they've been littering their code with console.log() statements like confetti at a parade. Sure, proper debugging tools have existed since the stone age of programming, but why use sophisticated tools when you can turn your terminal into an unreadable mess of "HERE1", "HERE2", and "WHY IS THIS UNDEFINED???" The real irony? Senior devs still resort to print statements when the debugger mysteriously stops working. We've all been there.
