The Real Exponential Growth Champion

Content Every show has one JS The fan favorite. Made to be hated. The hot one. The only normal person. "Uhh...what's your name again?" The gremlin. "Mmm...society." Just straight up evil. No screen time. All the plot relevance

The JavaScript ecosystem has evolved into a bizarre bazaar of utility packages with download counts that would make NASA jealous. We've got packages to check if numbers are odd (1.5M downloads/month), even (712K/month), or negative zero (98M/month)! Meanwhile, "is-primitive" quietly collects 12M downloads monthly for telling us if something is... wait for it... primitive. Revolutionary stuff. But the crown jewel? "kind-of" with a staggering 438M downloads/month to determine a value's type—something JavaScript can do natively with typeof. It's like buying bottled air when you're already outside. The NPM ecosystem: where we collectively decided that typing "number % 2 === 0" was just too much work. And we wonder why our node_modules folder needs its own zip code.

The eternal battle of complexity vs. simplicity in web development! On the left, we've got a modern "state-of-the-art" Next.js app with all its fancy LLMS assistance—probably 200MB of node_modules and 17 different build steps just to show "Hello World." Meanwhile, on the right, that dusty Perl CGI script from the 90s is still chugging along on some forgotten server, handling thousands of requests without breaking a sweat. Sure, the code might look like someone headbutted a keyboard, but it WORKS. And that's the punchline—both ultimately do the same thing, despite one being wrapped in layers of modern complexity. The old guard didn't have Stack Overflow or AI assistants—they had coffee, determination, and a manual. Built different indeed.

Oh the duality of internet dwellers! 😂 On the left, we've got the programmer having an existential crisis over code that looks like a Russian nesting doll of if-statements. SEVEN LEVELS DEEP?! That's not code, that's an inception sequel! Meanwhile, the Reddit chad on the right is casually munching popcorn through 57 replies of people arguing whether JavaScript is trash or if tabs are better than spaces. The irony? The code is literally checking if someone hates JavaScript and bullies others... which is basically Reddit's favorite pastime. It's the circle of strife! ✨
