He Preferred Death To Explaining 'Promises'

Ah, the classic beginner's dilemma. You're just trying to pick up coding, overwhelmed by the buffet of languages spread before you—Python, JavaScript, C#, Java—each one promising to be the one . Meanwhile, seasoned devs are in the corner cackling with their Rust bottles like some coding cult. The truth? After 15 years in this industry, I've watched languages come and go faster than startup CEOs after funding runs out. The beginners panic about which pill to swallow while the veterans know the real drug was memory safety and zero-cost abstractions all along. Rust is like that friend who does CrossFit—they won't shut up about it, but damn if they aren't in better shape than the rest of us garbage-collected peasants.

This Terminator-inspired meme perfectly captures the holy war between backend developers. The Terminator asks if the kid's mom is a backend developer, then drops the nuclear bomb: "JavaScript is the best language for backend." The mom agrees enthusiastically, confirming her technical heresy. The Terminator's final line—announcing the kid's foster parents are dead—is basically how Node.js developers get treated at serious backend engineering conferences. Nothing says "your bloodline is weak and history will forget you" quite like suggesting JavaScript belongs on a server.

Ah yes, academic literature—where JavaScript and Java are basically the same thing. Nothing says "I've thoroughly researched programming" like casually dropping "(or Java)" as if they're interchangeable aliases. That's like saying "I'll drive my Ferrari (or bicycle)" to work today. This is the same energy as textbooks claiming HTML is a programming language or that "the hacker known as 4chan" is a person. No wonder Stack Overflow exists—it's to recover from the brain damage caused by reading these educational masterpieces.

The evolution of web development in four panels! Started with the innocent dream of "build the internet" - so pure, so simple. Then we added some HTML/CSS because, you know, websites should look pretty. But then... oh no... the JavaScript framework apocalypse struck! Now we're all frantically learning 17 new frameworks before breakfast just to stay employable. Remember when you could just FTP a single HTML file to a server and call it a day? Now you need 4GB of node_modules to display "Hello World". The modern web: where your simple todo app requires more computing power than NASA used to reach the moon.
