The 12-Hour JavaScript Tutorial Reality Check

Ah, the mythical "World's Best CSS Developer" trophy – the only thing more perfectly centered than this award is the existential dread I feel when a client asks for "just a small layout tweak." After 15 years of fighting with floats, flexbox, and grid, I've come to accept that properly aligning divs is basically dark magic. We've all spent hours trying to vertically center something only to end up with a unholy combination of margin: auto , position: absolute , and at least three Stack Overflow solutions duct-taped together. The real winners aren't getting trophies – they're silently weeping into their keyboards at 2am, wondering why display: flex suddenly decided to betray them.

When debugging gets too intense, just rage quit! This magnificent error handling strategy shows the pinnacle of software engineering: a catch block that simply closes the window. No logs, no error messages, no problem! It's the digital equivalent of flipping the table and walking away. Why fix bugs when you can just make them disappear... along with your entire application? Pure genius for those who believe user experience is overrated.

Ah, the eternal C/C++ programmer's dream - a world where you don't have to choose between sizeof(array) and sizeof(array[0]) just to get the damn array length. Meanwhile, JavaScript devs are smugly using .length while we're over here doing division like it's 1972. The utopian future depicted isn't flying cars - it's sensible array APIs that don't decay into pointers the moment you sneeze on them. Ten thousand years of programming evolution and we're still manually calculating element counts like cavemen with abacuses.

Someone tried to create a radio button UI in real life but completely missed the point. Radio buttons are supposed to be mutually exclusive—you can only select one option. But they forgot to actually implement the selection functionality! It's like shipping code without the onClick handler. This is what happens when product managers say "make it look exactly like the mockup" without understanding the underlying functionality.

Someone asked what programming languages polyglots dream in, and the answer "JavaScript" got absolutely demolished with the most savage correction of all time. Because let's be real, nobody is out here having sweet dreams about type coercion, undefined is not a function, and the fact that [] + {} somehow equals "[object Object]" while {} + [] equals 0. JavaScript doesn't visit your dreams—it breaks into your subconscious at ungodly hours, whispers "NaN === NaN is false" in your ear, and leaves you questioning your entire existence. The language where adding an array to an object makes perfect sense to absolutely nobody, but here we are, building the entire internet with it anyway. Sweet dreams are made of these? More like cold sweats and existential dread.
