JavaScript NaN Is Weird

javascript-memes, nan-memes, equality-memes, comparison-operators-memes, programming-logic-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

JavaScript's equality comparison is like that one friend who can't decide what they want for dinner. The console shows NaN === NaN returning false because in JS, each NaN is its own special snowflake. Two identical-looking "not a number" values? Nope, completely different according to JavaScript! The corporate "spot the difference" meme perfectly captures the absurdity - there's literally no difference between the two NaN cards, yet JavaScript insists they're not the same. It's the programming equivalent of gaslighting. Next time someone asks why developers drink, just show them this.

It's Not Magic If You Can Read It

The serialize function is pure genius! It converts JavaScript primitives into hexadecimal values that are actually clever puns: undefined → 0x1def9d (I def'd) null → 0xbadbad (bad bad) true → 0x17d0e5 (true-ish) false → 0x0ff0ff (off off) The developer who wrote this must've spent more time crafting these hex puns than actually implementing the feature. That's dedication to the craft! The kind of easter egg that makes you both groan and secretly admire their commitment to dad-level humor in production code.

You Know How First Semester CS Students Are

Professor: "It's semicolon; we will hardly use it." Fast forward two weeks and suddenly these freshmen are putting semicolons after every line of code like their grade depends on it. Nothing quite like the trauma of your first compiler error that could've been fixed with a simple ";". The irony is that after 10 years in the industry, I now use languages where semicolons are optional and I'm back to hardly using them. Full circle, baby.

Google A Din 1999

Ah, Google circa 1999 - the innocent childhood photo before puberty hit and turned it into a data-hoarding monster with commitment issues. Look at that adorable promise: "a pure search engine — no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions." That aged about as well as my promise to only have one cookie from the jar. Now Google tracks you more closely than your ex on social media and has more ads than a Times Square billboard. The digital equivalent of "I'll just have one drink tonight" followed by waking up with a sponsored hangover.
