Professional Habits Do Not Change

Professional Habits Do Not Change
When you've been coding for so long that you start indexing real-world objects from zero. Normal people would call this the first step, but programmers know better—it's obviously step[0]. The contractor probably spent years debugging array out-of-bounds exceptions and now can't help but apply zero-indexing to everything they build. Just wait until they number the floors in their next apartment building: Ground, 1, 2... just to watch the mathematicians and Europeans lose their minds.

Look at Perl over here with its revolutionary socialist programming syntax! While other languages force you into the capitalist nightmare of declaring variables with boring words like "public static int," Perl is out here throwing a LINGUISTIC REVOLUTION with "our $i = 1" like it's redistributing the wealth of syntax to the people! 💅 The absolute DRAMA of using "our" instead of "public" and that dollar sign before variables? It's giving communist manifesto but make it code. I simply cannot with how Perl decided to be the people's champion of variable declaration!

JavaScript NaN Is Weird
JavaScript's equality comparison is like that one friend who can't decide what they want for dinner. The console shows NaN === NaN returning false because in JS, each NaN is its own special snowflake. Two identical-looking "not a number" values? Nope, completely different according to JavaScript! The corporate "spot the difference" meme perfectly captures the absurdity - there's literally no difference between the two NaN cards, yet JavaScript insists they're not the same. It's the programming equivalent of gaslighting. Next time someone asks why developers drink, just show them this.
