I Still Don't Know What 'This' Is

2 days ago 95.8K views 0 shares

Oh. My. GOD. The DRAMA of JavaScript's this keyword is the ultimate betrayal! You're sitting there, coding away, when suddenly your program implodes and you scream "F*** THIS!" in righteous fury—only to realize the tragic irony that you literally have NO IDEA what "this" even is in your code! 😱 It's like screaming at a ghost you can't see! For the JavaScript-curious, this is that slippery little devil that changes meaning depending on context—sometimes it's the window, sometimes it's an object, sometimes it's whatever random thing bound to it. And don't even get me started on arrow functions changing all the rules! The AUDACITY!

Ah, the optimistic delusion of "I'll just fix this quick bug" that turns into a complete mental breakdown. You start your day with coffee and confidence, ready to squash that "minor issue" in your code. Fast forward a few hours, and you're in the fetal position surrounded by broken monitors, questioning your career choices and possibly your will to live. That escalated quickly, didn't it? The five stages of debugging: denial, anger, bargaining, destroying your workspace, and finally curling up in despair while contemplating a career in organic farming.

The Two Eternal States Of Programming

Python Programming Debugging Testing

The purest form of programming education right here. First comes the euphoric high of getting your code to work - that burst of dopamine that feels like you've just conquered Mount Everest in flip-flops. Then, inevitably, the crushing despair when it mysteriously breaks five minutes later for absolutely no logical reason. The kid just speedran the entire emotional cycle of a 20-year programming career in about 15 minutes. Welcome to the club, kid! The only difference between junior and senior devs is that seniors know both feelings are temporary... until they're not.

The Great Python Indentation Betrayal

The eternal Python indentation saga strikes again! You stare at the error message for 20 minutes, convinced line 5 is flawless, only for Python to smugly inform you that the problem is actually a missing bracket on line 4. The compiler equivalent of "it's not what you said, it's how you said it." Nothing like wasting half your morning on an error that's not even where the error message claims it is. And people wonder why programmers drink coffee by the gallon...

The Semicolon Hunt: Sleep Is For The Weak

Expectation: Writing elegant code with perfect structure and original logic. Reality: WHEEEZE *frantically searching through 2000 lines of code at 3am* "I FORGOR SEMICOLON" And then there's that one missing semicolon that keeps you awake for 4 days straight while your non-programmer friends think you're being dramatic. No, Chad, this isn't like when you "missed her" - this is psychological warfare between me and a punctuation mark that Satan himself invented.

Hasn't Worked Yet, But There's A First Time For Everything Right?

Ah, the duality of debugging. Start the day with methodical breakpoints and console logs. End it by threatening your computer with physical violence. Ten years of experience and I still find myself whispering dark incantations at my terminal at 2AM. Somehow, yelling "WORK YOU STUPID PIECE OF..." has fixed more bugs than Stack Overflow ever did. It's the programmer's version of percussive maintenance. Pro tip: If your coworkers start avoiding you during debugging sessions, invest in soundproof headphones. Not for you - for them.

Oh my goodness, this is too real! 😂 The question asks about the most used programming language, and while Ruby, C, and Java all get big red X marks, "Profanity" gets the green checkmark! Because nothing says "my code isn't working" like a string of colorful words that would make your grandma faint! That moment when you've been debugging for 3 hours and suddenly your vocabulary transforms into sailor-speak is basically a universal coding certification. Forget syntax - cursing is the true cross-platform language!

Ah, the inevitable evolution of every code warrior! First you're Patrick Star - blissfully unaware that your "hello world" program is held together with digital duct tape. Then comes the SpongeBob phase - bright-eyed and thinking "I'll revolutionize tech with my clean code practices!" Fast forward a few years and *boom* - you're Squidward, staring at legacy code written by your past self, wondering why you chose this career path instead of opening that beach-side taco stand. The transformation from "what's a semicolon?" to "I will end whoever wrote this dependency" is basically a developer rite of passage. It's not burnout, it's enlightenment! 🧘‍♂️

Lore Accurate Junior Dev

Programming Javascript Debugging

The quintessential junior developer experience captured in its purest form. Spending 4 hours in debugging purgatory, questioning your life choices and sanity, only to discover you never actually called the function you wrote. It's like building an entire rocket ship and wondering why it won't launch when you never pressed the ignition button. The instant transition from SpongeBob's rage-filled face to "Worked immediately" is the perfect representation of that unique mixture of relief and self-loathing that only programming can provide. The most authentic part? We've ALL been there... probably yesterday.
