Street Magic: JavaScript Edition

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.

Am I Doing It Wrong

When your professor spent 45 minutes explaining Big O notation and tree traversal algorithms, but you're over here just jamming everything into a HashMap because key-value go brrr. Sure, there are 57 other data structures specifically designed for your exact problem, but why waste time being elegant when you can waste memory being lazy?

The Old Reliable Rule

Frontend devs mock backend folks for using plain JavaScript instead of the framework-du-jour, but secretly, we all know those vanilla JS backends have been running flawlessly for years while the frontend stack has been rewritten 17 times. That backend code written in 2014? Still chugging along without a hiccup. Meanwhile, the frontend team is busy migrating from React to Vue to Svelte to whatever shiny new framework dropped last Tuesday. Sometimes boring technology is the most reliable. And deep down, we're all a little jealous of that stability.

I Really Wish I Could

The modern tech interview process in one painful frame. Looking at those shooting stars and wishing for the impossible – passing a coding interview without spending months memorizing obscure tree traversal algorithms that you'll never use in the actual job. Ten years of experience? Great! Now reverse this linked list while I watch you sweat. Meanwhile, the actual job is 90% googling how to center a div and wondering why your production code suddenly stopped working after a dependency updated by one minor version.
