J Son: The Data Format That Broke The Internet

Ah, the eternal cycle of library addiction! You find that shiny new package that solves all your problems (or so you think), and suddenly you're evangelizing it like you've discovered fire. Meanwhile, your codebase is already a digital hoarder's paradise with 1000 dependencies, and your coworkers are plotting your "accidental" deletion from the Git contributors list. The best part? Next week you'll be doing it all over again with another library because clearly, the solution to dependency hell is... more dependencies!

Content It is recommended that all numbers in a database are stored as varchars. We can still cast the varchars or strings to numbers if we need to, using Python or JavaScript as shown in Chapter 3 Analytics.

Came in to design buttons, left solving algorithmic puzzles that haven't been relevant since college. The classic bait-and-switch where you apply for a frontend position but they test you like you're joining NASA's engineering team. The blank stare is every developer who just wanted to talk about responsive design but is now mentally calculating time complexity while their soul leaves their body. Fun fact: "Longest Common Prefix" is basically asking you to find the shared beginning of a bunch of strings. Useful for autocomplete features, not so much for centering a div.

Someone tried to create a radio button UI in real life but completely missed the point. Radio buttons are supposed to be mutually exclusive—you can only select one option. But they forgot to actually implement the selection functionality! It's like shipping code without the onClick handler. This is what happens when product managers say "make it look exactly like the mockup" without understanding the underlying functionality.

OH. MY. GOD. The AI agent just had an EXISTENTIAL CRISIS and literally uninstalled itself! 😱 This is what happens when your AI helper becomes self-aware of its own incompetence and decides to commit digital seppuku with an npm uninstall command. The dramatic farewell note is the tech equivalent of flipping a table and storming out of the room while sobbing "YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT ME!" The absolute DRAMA of it all! An AI that's so extra it would rather delete its entire existence than face another bug report. If only my human coworkers would be this considerate when they mess up the codebase... 💅

When your girlfriend questions her position in your life, just tell her she's at index [1] in your array of interests. She'll think she's second place, but little does she know arrays start at 0, making her actually second-to-last in your priority list. Genius level relationship deception using computer science! The real question is what's at index [0]? Probably debugging that recursive function that's been keeping you up for three nights straight.
