The eternal struggle between CSS and JavaScript in a nutshell! CSS knows with absolute certainty that links are purple after they've been visited (the :visited pseudo-class has traditionally defaulted to purple in browsers). Meanwhile, JavaScript is having an existential crisis thinking the link is blue, then questioning its own color perception abilities. Fun fact: JavaScript actually can't access the true styling of visited links for security reasons - browsers restrict this to prevent history sniffing attacks. So JS is literally colorblind when it comes to :visited links! Poor JavaScript, forever doomed to see unvisited styles only.

The evolution of programming efficiency is hilariously tragic. In 1975, Chad programmers hand-optimized machine code to squeeze games into kilobytes. By 2000, we'd accepted some bloat for productivity with high-level languages. Fast forward to 2025, and we've got "programmers" creating calculator apps that consume 1GB of RAM because they've stuffed 69 frameworks into an Electron wrapper. Meanwhile, they're busy impressing AI girlfriends while Microsoft casually commits open-source theft. We went from calculating trajectories to the moon on 4KB of RAM to needing 16GB just to run VS Code without crashing. Progress™

The real street magic here is using Unicode character references as object keys to confuse even "super senior JS developers." That code is pure evil - using those weird \u escape sequences to access object properties, then doing some arithmetic with them. The magician knew exactly what he was doing. Nothing makes frontend devs question their life choices faster than JavaScript's object property access quirks combined with Unicode escape sequences. And they fell right into his trap, going from "we can solve any expression" to "OMG" in 0.2 seconds flat. Classic JavaScript humiliation in the wild.

When you've been writing JavaScript for so long that you forget how to use normal words anymore. That moment when someone says "use using" and your brain immediately autocorrects it to using use = useUsing("use") because you've been drowning in React hooks for the past 6 months. The guy whispering looks like he just discovered a revolutionary pattern while the other dude is having an existential crisis realizing he's been useState -ing, useEffect -ing, and useContext -ing so much that the word "use" has lost all semantic meaning. Welcome to the hook life, where everything is a use and nothing hurts... except your sanity.
