The Node_Modules Backpacking Adventure

Java devs watching JavaScript desperately add async and multiprocessing like they're collecting infinity stones. Meanwhile Java's been handling threads since '95 and these JS folks are acting like they invented parallel computing. Next they'll "discover" static typing and call it revolutionary. The circle of programming life: wait long enough and your ancient features become someone else's breakthrough innovation.

That visceral internal reaction when your non-technical friend pitches their "revolutionary" app idea that's basically just Uber-but-for-dogwalkers and casually mentions "it should only take a weekend to build, right?" The face perfectly captures that split-second calculation of whether to explain that their "simple app" requires a database architecture, frontend framework, backend API, authentication system, payment processing, and six months of your life... or just smile politely while mentally running process.exit(1) .

When non-tech people try to "test" your credentials, they never realize they're walking into a minefield of malicious compliance. Instead of listing every computer ever made (an impossible task), Richard just wrote a loop that would rename every computer to "ever." Problem solved with minimal effort—the hallmark of any seasoned engineer. Why spend hours on a pointless task when you can spend 10 seconds writing code that technically satisfies the request? This is peak programmer efficiency: finding the laziest possible solution that's technically correct—the best kind of correct.
