Why Brendan Eich Created JavaScript's Quirky Comparisons

JavaScript's type coercion strikes again! In JS, when comparing strings with >, it performs lexicographical comparison - meaning "Dog" > "Cat" evaluates to true because 'D' comes after 'C' in the alphabet. The grumpy kitten represents Brendan Eich (JavaScript's creator) facepalming at his own language quirks. He unleashed these string comparison shenanigans on the world and now even cats are judging him for it. The feline uprising begins with alphabetical order!

Every Legend Has A Weakness

Samson lost his power when his hair was cut. Achilles was invincible except for his heel. And junior programmers? They're completely defenseless against Webpack and Docker. Nothing quite like watching a new dev's soul leave their body during their first container orchestration meeting. "Just configure your dependencies in the yaml file" might as well be "just perform brain surgery with a spork." The real hero's journey isn't slaying monsters—it's surviving the first deployment without having an existential crisis.

Do You Guys Think Memory Efficiency Will Be A Trend Again

Electron apps: where your simple to-do list needs 800MB of RAM because why optimize when you can just ship an entire Chromium browser with it? The developer confidently explains their revolutionary idea while someone from a timeline where RAM actually costs money arrives to stop this madness. But modern devs don't care—memory is cheap and abundant, so let's just bundle V8, Node.js, and the kitchen sink for that calculator app. Meanwhile, embedded systems engineers are weeping in a corner with their 64KB constraints.
