The JavaScript Type Coercion Algorithm

JavaScript's equality operator (==) is basically a choose-your-own-adventure book written by a sleep-deprived programmer.

Want to compare null and undefined? Sure, they're equal! A string and a number? Let me just transform that string real quick. true equals 1? Absolutely! Objects? Hold my coffee while I invoke some toString() magic.

This is why senior devs scream "ALWAYS USE TRIPLE EQUALS" during code reviews. The double equals algorithm isn't logic—it's interpretive dance.
