JS Is A Very Respectable Language

1 hour ago 18.4K views 0 shares

JavaScript really said "consistency is for COWARDS" and honestly? It committed to the bit. 💀 So you've got an array [1, 2, 3] and you're like "hey what's at index -2?" JavaScript casually returns undefined because negative indices don't exist in JS arrays... EXCEPT when you use .at(-2) which is specifically designed to handle negative indices and suddenly it's like "oh you want the second element from the end? Here's your 2, bestie!" Then you assign foo[-2] = 4 which JavaScript happily accepts because arrays are objects and you just created a STRING property called "-2" on that array object. So now foo[-2] returns 4 from the object property while foo.at(-2) STILL returns 2 from the actual array position. Same syntax, completely different universes. Very respectable. Very normal. Nothing to see here. 🎪

The Horrifying Truth About JavaScript Arrays

The moment when JavaScript's existential truth bomb hits you like a freight train. In JS, arrays are just objects where the keys happen to be sequential numbers! That calm developer on the left is about to have their entire worldview shattered with this realization. It's that special kind of programming horror when you realize your mental model of a fundamental data structure was a comfortable lie. Next thing you know, you're trying myArray["1"] instead of myArray[1] just to prove to yourself that reality is broken. Welcome to JavaScript, where arrays are objects, undefined is not null, and NaN !== NaN. Sweet dreams!

When You Start Using Data Structures Other Than Arrays

That moment when you've been forcing everything into arrays for years and suddenly discover linked lists, trees, and hash maps. The sheer existential horror of realizing how much unnecessary O(n) searching you've been doing. Your entire coding career flashes before your eyes as you contemplate all those nested for-loops that could have been O(1) lookups.

The Sins Of The Parent Codebase

The sins of the parent codebase are visited upon the child. That poor kid was doomed from the moment mom decided arrays should start at 1 instead of 0. It's like being born into a family that puts milk before cereal – fundamentally wrong at the core level. Some programming traumas just get passed down through generations, and starting arrays at 1 is the equivalent of digital hereditary trauma. The kid never stood a chance.

Zero-Based Child Prodigy

The kid's already mastered zero-based indexing at age 7! While most humans start counting from 1, this tiny programmer instinctively numbers pages as 0, 1, 2... just like arrays in most programming languages. The parent might think it's cute artwork, but we're witnessing the birth of a future software engineer who intuitively understands that memory allocation starts at position 0. Nature vs nurture debate settled - some people are just born to code.

The kid's already been corrupted by zero-indexing! That's not just numbering – that's programming numbering. While normal humans start counting at 1, this tiny developer is starting at 0, just like arrays in most programming languages. The parent's pride is completely justified – that child is destined for a life of explaining to non-technical people why the first element is actually the zeroth element. Future debugging sessions and off-by-one errors await this prodigy!

The Brutal Reality Of Learning To Code

Behold the journey of a coding newbie! Top panel: confidently approaching programming languages like "I'm gonna master ALL of these!" Bottom panel: absolute existential dread upon discovering arrays. Nothing humbles a fresh developer quite like realizing that the simple concept of "just store some values together" comes with indexing, methods, mutability issues, and the classic off-by-one errors that will haunt your dreams forever. The transition from "I can code anything!" to "Why is my array returning undefined?" happens faster than a JavaScript runtime error.

On Today's Episode Of "What Are You Doing JS?"

OH. MY. GOD. JavaScript, you absolute DRAMA QUEEN! 💅 Look at this chaotic hellscape of array and object addition! Empty array plus empty object? "[object Object]". But switch the order and suddenly it's ZERO?! And then we throw in parentheses and JavaScript has a complete existential crisis and gives us "NaN" like it's having a nervous breakdown! This is why we can't have nice things in frontend development. JavaScript is that toxic friend who changes the rules every time you think you understand them. I'm literally DYING at how it's just making up math as it goes along. Type coercion? More like type CONFUSION, honey! 🙄

Zero-Indexed Relationship

Ah, the classic zero-indexed array defense. Technically correct but emotionally questionable. The guy told his girlfriend she's at index [1] in his array of interests, thinking he's being clever because that means she's his #2 priority after programming. But she's happy because she thinks 1 means first place. Nobody tell her that arrays start at 0 in most programming languages. That relationship is running on a critical misunderstanding that's somehow working. It's like production code that functions despite a lurking off-by-one error.

Epstein Sort: Where Inconvenient Values Don't Kill Themselves

This algorithm doesn't kill itself—it just makes inconvenient values disappear! The code starts with good intentions, but any element smaller than the current minimum gets mysteriously "[REDACTED]" instead of being properly sorted. Just like certain prison surveillance footage, some data points never make it to the final array. The comment at the bottom is even missing the return statement... because dead code tells no tales.

Array Moment

The real champions in programming are the ones who understand arrays start at zero, not one. That's why the second-place finisher (index [1]) is celebrating like he won the whole thing, while the actual "winner" standing on the [0] podium looks dejected. It's that classic moment when you realize the person who designed the competition was clearly a programmer. The guy on the [1] podium is living his best life because he knows the truth – in the array of life, he's actually first. Meanwhile, the poor soul at [0] is wondering why his gold medal tastes like disappointment.

OMG, the TRAGEDY of dating a programmer! While she's over there having a full-blown relationship crisis, this man's brain is LITERALLY SHORT-CIRCUITING over why arrays start at zero instead of one! THE AUDACITY! 💀 His girlfriend thinks he's mentally cheating, but he's just mentally debugging the universe's indexing choices. The relationship is in shambles while he's contemplating the existential horror of zero-based indexing. PRIORITIES, PEOPLE!
