It works for me offline and in home, but now I am a office and this returns a different host name. - DataGreed Jun 21 '12 at 13:39

Oh sweet merciful heavens, the DRAMA of frontend debugging! 😱 One minute you're drowning in a sea of "UNRELIABLE" debugging tools that crash, freeze, or just flat-out LIE to your face... and the next you're desperately clinging to console.log() like it's the last lifeboat on the Titanic! The sheer AUDACITY of modern frameworks promising sophisticated debugging while we're all just cavemen shouting variables into the void! Console.log is the duct tape of web development—primitive, unsophisticated, but THE ONLY THING THAT NEVER BETRAYS YOU when Chrome DevTools decides to have an existential crisis!

Ah, the classic "free drink if you can read code" trap! This bar is basically filtering customers based on JavaScript literacy. The sneaky part? The secret word is hidden in plain sight but requires you to mentally execute the code. The code creates a function that reverses strings, then builds the secret word by reversing "par", adding "amet", and constructing a final string with "Secret word: " prefix. If you run it, you get "Secret word: rapemat" - which sounds like the world's most unfortunate cocktail name. Honestly, any dev who can parse this after a few drinks deserves not just one free beverage but the entire bottle. And the bartender probably thinks they're so clever until some smartass walks in with a JavaScript interpreter on their phone.

DARLING, SWEETIE, HONEY! A new JavaScript framework just launched? How utterly GROUNDBREAKING! 🙄 The JavaScript ecosystem is LITERALLY DROWNING in frameworks that pop up faster than mushrooms after rain! That poor glowing skeleton is all of us - absolutely DEVASTATED by the sheer AUDACITY of yet another framework claiming to revolutionize web development. The skeleton's response is pure GOLD: "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?" Because HONESTLY, at this point announcing you're a new JS framework is like announcing you're wearing socks. Nobody. Is. Impressed.

Let's face it—no matter which programming language is your "baby," you're still a card-carrying member of Nerdville. Population: you and everyone else reading this. The only exception? MATLAB users who get the prestigious title of "engineer AND nerd." That extra badge doesn't make your code run any faster though, just means you paid more for your license. And poor FORTRAN devs are just "old and nerd"—like that vintage Star Wars t-shirt you refuse to throw away despite the holes. Still compiling on that machine from 1995, aren't you?
