Oh. My. God. The absolute DRAMA of JavaScript developers! 🙄 Instead of writing a simple function themselves, they'll drag in 47 BAJILLION npm packages like SpongeBob hauling that ridiculous mountain of presents! Why write 10 lines of code when you can install an entire ecosystem with 9,427 dependencies that'll break in six months? The shopping cart is literally SCREAMING under the weight of all those unnecessary packages! Meanwhile, the function they needed could've been written faster than it takes to type "npm install massive-overkill-package-for-simple-task"! It's the developer equivalent of buying an entire Home Depot to hang a single picture frame!

Expectation: Writing elegant code with perfect structure and original logic. Reality: WHEEEZE *frantically searching through 2000 lines of code at 3am* "I FORGOR SEMICOLON" And then there's that one missing semicolon that keeps you awake for 4 days straight while your non-programmer friends think you're being dramatic. No, Chad, this isn't like when you "missed her" - this is psychological warfare between me and a punctuation mark that Satan himself invented.
