Why Brendan Eich Created JavaScript's Quirky Comparisons

Boolean questions should return TRUE or FALSE. That's it. No debate. No explanation. Just binary logic. But then there's that one colleague who responds with "Well, it depends..." and proceeds to write a novel-length string response that could've been a simple yes/no. The worst part? You're still parsing their answer three coffee refills later, trying to figure out if they meant true or false. It's like asking "Is this variable null?" and getting back the entire Git commit history since 2015.

SWEET MOTHER OF SKILL REQUIREMENTS! Left side: an absolute APOCALYPSE of tech logos - AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, security certifications, and about 47 other technologies that no human could possibly master in one lifetime. Right side: Excel. Just... Excel.

The borrow checker doesn't care about your feelings—it only cares about your references. And it will make you cry.

Look at me ignoring that README file like it's my ex's text messages. We've all been there—excitedly diving into a shiny new library, completely bypassing the documentation because "how hard could it be?" Then two hours later, after fighting bizarre errors and contemplating a career change to goat farming, we're crawling back to that README with our tail between our legs. The documentation was there the whole time, patiently waiting for us to admit we're not as clever as we thought. It's the programming circle of life.
