I Don't Think It's That Bad

You know you've hit rock bottom when you're defending JavaScript in 2024. This is the programming equivalent of saying "I don't see what's wrong with pineapple on pizza" in an Italian restaurant—technically you're allowed to have that opinion, but you're also not getting invited back. The beauty here is the self-awareness creeping in mid-sentence. Started with confidence, ended with existential dread. Classic JS developer arc. They've probably written so much `== null || undefined` spaghetti that their brain has Stockholm Syndrome'd itself into thinking "this is fine." But hey, at least they know better than to actually ask why people hate JavaScript. Because once you open that Pandora's box, you're getting a 47-slide PowerPoint about type coercion, `this` binding, callback hell, and why `[] + {} !== {} + []`. Nobody has that kind of time.
