Content Replace a semicolon (; with a greek question mark (;) in your friend's JavaScript and watch them pull their hair out over the syntax error. error: unknown start of token: u37e - main.rs:2:30 2 I printin! ("Hello, world!"); help: Unicode character ';' (Greek Question Mark) Looks like ';' (Semicolon), but it is not printin! ("Hello, world!"); Pathetic.

Content Stephen Gower As someone who has been developing websites since NCSA Mosaic was the only browser available, I'd just like to say that I'm really fcking tired of all the smart assholes out there continuously developing entirely new ways to build web applications. It started simple enough, just html and javascript. Then Cold Fusion. Then java applets. Then java servlets. Then 5 or 6 different Java application servers, EJBs, JSP, struts, XSLT, PHP. But screw all of that. We need Spring. No wait, we need Ruby.and Rails. Wait, we need Query. screw Query. We need AngularJs, and Backbone, and Ember! The world just won't be right until we have 12 different ways to do the same thing in Javascript! Forget all those server-side things you learned. Node js is here! No-wait. F'ck Node. Use Google Go! Honestly how many times are we going to re-invent this wheel? Unless you stay current with all of this nonsense, you basically become unhireable. I'm sure some of you 20 and 30-somethings have already experienced some of this fatigue. Now just imaging 10-15 more years where every 3 years a good portion of what you learned before is now obsolete, and you'll feel like I do.

Just what we needed - protectionist programming! Nothing says "Make JavaScript Great Again" like banning all those pesky foreign libraries that actually work. Guess I'll just rewrite lodash from scratch instead of my actual project. And while I'm at it, let me reinvent React, jQuery, and every other useful tool because clearly my homegrown American code will have fewer bugs and security issues. Forget standing on the shoulders of giants - we're coding with bootstraps now! Next executive order: all variables must be named in English, and semicolons are now mandatory because they look like tiny American flags.

Someone said to make function names self-explanatory, and buddy took it literally . The irony is palpable as they create a function called "selfExplanatory" with increasingly chaotic casing and naming conventions, then ask "Am I doing it right?" Meanwhile, the only response is just an opening parenthesis - the universal symbol for "I've given up trying to explain this to you." Nothing says "I understand coding best practices" like completely missing the point while technically following instructions.

So they want a "Vibe Coder" who "orchestrates code through the power of AI" and "vibes their way to a brilliant front end product." Translation: We want someone to type prompts into ChatGPT while we pretend we're revolutionizing development. This job description screams "we have no idea what we're doing but we've invested too much in AI to admit it." Soon they'll replace "Senior Developer" with "Prompt Engineering Guru" and wonder why their codebase looks like it was written by a caffeinated squirrel with a keyboard. The funniest part? 42 people actually applied. Desperation truly knows no bounds in this economy.
