When You Run Npm Install After 6 Months

The classic trolley problem gets a programmer's twist! We've got two standards committees (TC39 for JavaScript and JTC1 for C++) tied to the nuclear option, while cancer and AIDS cures are on another track. Every developer knows the pain of dealing with language standards committees that seem to drag on forever with decisions that can blow up your codebase. The real moral dilemma: do you save humanity with medical breakthroughs, or do you finally put those endless committee meetings out of their misery? Let's be honest, we've all fantasized about nuking a standards meeting after implementing our 17th breaking change in a month.

A lonely C++ programmer stands in the corner of a party, nursing a drink while contemplating memory management strategies. Meanwhile, the "vibe coders" and "latest JavaScript framework coders" are having the time of their lives, blissfully unaware that pointers even exist. It's like watching someone who knows how engines work watching TikTokers who think cars run on magic and good vibes. The C++ dev silently judges while manually freeing memory that nobody else even knows they're allocating.

Delegating the TypeScript migration to AI is the modern equivalent of tossing your problems over the wall to the junior dev. Nothing says "I've reached peak seniority" like asking Claude to convert your janky JavaScript codebase while you kick back and pretend you're "architecting." The best part? That "make no mistakes" command—as if AI doesn't hallucinate semicolons like I hallucinate deadlines. Next week's ticket: "Fix all the weird union types Claude created that somehow accept both strings and refrigerators."

Someone really looked at SQL injection vulnerabilities and thought "you know what this needs? More aesthetic." TailwindSQL is the cursed lovechild of utility-first CSS and database queries that absolutely nobody asked for but everyone secretly deserves. Imagine writing className="db-users-name-where-id-1" in your React Server Components and having it ACTUALLY QUERY YOUR DATABASE. It's like someone took the concept of separation of concerns, threw it in a blender, added some Tailwind magic, and created the most beautifully dangerous footgun in web development history. The security team is having an aneurysm, the frontend devs are cackling maniacally, and somewhere a database administrator just felt a disturbance in the force. At least when your app gets hacked, your SQL injections will be perfectly styled with consistent spacing and responsive breakpoints!
