When Default Sort() Gets Awkward

Ah, JavaScript's default sorting—where even emoji faces aren't safe from algorithmic bias. The code innocently calls sort() on an array of diverse face emojis, but without a compare function, JS sorts by Unicode values. Somehow the browser decided to arrange them by skin tone from lightest to darkest. Not exactly what the developer intended, but a perfect example of why you should always specify your sorting criteria. Remember kids: computers don't understand social context—they just follow instructions, however problematic the results may be.

The Real Programming Education Hierarchy

The eternal truth of programming education: beginners gravitate toward random YouTube tutorials by enthusiastic Indian instructors, completely ignoring the senior developer with actual battle scars who sits right next to them. It's like having Gordon Ramsay offer to cook you dinner, but you'd rather watch a TikTok of someone microwaving a Hot Pocket. The 7-year veteran silently weeps as his hard-earned knowledge gets trumped by "Hello friends, today we will be learning..."
