We Ve All Been There

JavaScript's parseInt() function is like that one coworker who ignores all your emails until you add exactly seven zeroes after the decimal point. The function stubbornly returns 0 for every decimal value, until suddenly—at 0.0000005—it decides "Oh, I see a 5 now!" and returns 5. It's like watching someone squint harder and harder at tiny text until they finally give up and just read whatever letter they think they see. The floating point precision gods have spoken, and they've chosen chaos.

Behold the duality of the web! While the private sector is out here flexing with React, Vue, and whatever framework dropped last Tuesday, government websites are still rocking that sweet HTML 3.0 vibe with Times New Roman and blue hyperlinks you've already clicked.

When a backend dev ventures into frontend territory, it's like slapping a logo on a plane and calling it "designed." The backend skills are elegantly scripted in fancy cursive because that's where they feel at home—writing beautiful algorithms nobody sees. Meanwhile, their frontend skills are just... bold purple text screaming for attention. No CSS flexbox, no responsive design, just raw, unfiltered "it works on my machine" energy. The plane still flies though, which is more than we can say for most of their UI attempts.
