The JavaScript Type Coercion Algorithm
JavaScript's equality operator (==) is basically a choose-your-own-adventure book written by a sleep-deprived programmer. Want to compare null and undefined ? Sure, they're equal! A string and a number? Let me just transform that string real quick. true equals 1 ? Absolutely! Objects? Hold my coffee while I invoke some toString() magic. This is why senior devs scream "ALWAYS USE TRIPLE EQUALS" during code reviews. The double equals algorithm isn't logic—it's interpretive dance.

This Bug Didn't Stump Me For Two Weeks I Swear
The epic saga of string comparison in programming languages! First, our protagonist thinks ";" equals ";" (seems logical). Then he insists ";" is not equal to ";" (wait, what?). The plot thickens when he discovers that while the strings look identical, their MD5 hashes match - revealing they're actually the same data! Finally, the revelation: "&#59;" isn't equal to ";" because one is actually character code 59 in disguise! That invisible Unicode trickster or non-printable character just wasted 80 hours of your life. The compiler knew all along but chose violence.

Single equals in a conditional? That's the kind of code that haunts developers at night. The poor soul used assignment (=) instead of comparison (==) in their if statement, basically saying "hey, let's make every user an admin and then grant access." Security teams worldwide just felt a disturbance in the force. Sweet dreams!
