JavaScript: The New Capital Punishment

Three hours of debugging only to discover the cache was laughing at you the whole time. That moment when you're ready to either put your head through the monitor or use that gun on your codebase. The worst part? You've made this exact mistake six times before and swore it would never happen again. Hard to look smart when your career is being derailed by a browser refresh button.

Start a new JavaScript project with a simple npm init ? Sure, seems innocent enough! But dare to run npm install and suddenly your laptop fans kick into jet engine mode as your machine downloads half the internet. The node_modules folder is where dependencies go to multiply like rabbits on performance-enhancing drugs. One minute you're writing a simple "Hello World" app, the next you've downloaded 300MB of packages you'll never directly use. Nothing quite captures the absurdity of modern web development like watching your hard drive space vanish because you needed to import a function that pads strings with zeros.

SWEET MERCIFUL CODE GODS! Someone actually wrote a bot that posts the EXACT SAME recycled jokes we see daily on r/ProgrammerHumor! 😱 This masterpiece of automation randomly selects from the greatest hits collection: "Linux > Windows," "JavaScript sucks," and my personal favorite "how to exit vim" (a question that has trapped developers in terminal purgatory since the dawn of time). The tragic part? This bot would ABSOLUTELY farm more karma than my actual coding projects. Why spend weeks building something useful when you can just scream "SEMICOLON MISSING" and watch the upvotes roll in? Programming culture is officially eating itself!
