Async Is Contagious

4 days ago 61.3K views 1 shares

Start with a normal function handshake, end with the ENTIRE CODEBASE being infected with async/await! 😱 The moment you introduce ONE async function into your pristine synchronous paradise, it spreads faster than gossip in a developer Slack channel! Suddenly EVERYTHING needs to be async, your functions are covered in purple Teletubby suits, and your once-simple code is now a hellscape of Promises and .then() chains! The async plague has no cure - resistance is futile! Your beautiful sequential code? MURDERED in cold blood by the async mafia!

The Missing Function Call Revelation

Staring at your screen for 45 minutes, questioning your entire career choice because your function isn't returning anything... only to realize you never actually called it. Just another Tuesday in the life of a developer. The difference between rage and shame is just one missing parenthesis pair () .

Game development expectation: Write elegant functions, see beautiful graphics. Game development reality: Scream in terror as your console spits out "Thing 1 happened" with zero context about what crashed your entire project at 3AM. The top panel shows the dream - neatly organized functions ready to execute. The bottom panel reveals the nightmare - Godot Engine running on a high-end RTX 4060 GPU, yet still only managing to tell you "Thing 1 happened" before your character clips through the floor and into the void for the 47th time today.

Random() Functions Is Not Random

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of programming languages to call these functions "random" when they're about as random as my aunt Gertrude's weekly bingo schedule! 🙄 These so-called "random" functions are LITERALLY just deterministic algorithms in disguise, honey! Feed them the same seed, and they'll spit out the exact same sequence EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The BETRAYAL! It's like ordering a "surprise" meal but getting the same chicken sandwich for the 57th time. JUST CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE - pseudorandom! The Matrix kid knows what's up!

My Colleague Doesn't Like His Own Spaghetti Functions

Someone's had enough of the 3000-line function that calculates tax, sends emails, updates databases, and makes coffee all in one go. Nothing says "I've reached my breaking point" like passive-aggressive office notes taped to the wall. Single responsibility principle isn't just good practice—it's apparently grounds for workplace violence if ignored. The colleague who wrote this has definitely muttered "what the hell does this even do?" while scrolling through functions named 'processData' at 2 AM.

The meme shows John Carmack (legendary DOOM creator) wearing an Oculus VR headset with a valve on his glasses, while someone mocks his C programming style. What they don't realize is that Carmack's procedural "functions only" approach created one of the most influential games ever while modern devs are still arguing about design patterns and class hierarchies. Sure, laugh at the lack of OOP while he's over there revolutionizing an entire industry with "just functions." Classic case of a junior dev criticizing senior code they don't understand yet.

Ah, the classic programming love story that was doomed from the start. She returns values, he doesn't return anything – basically the relationship equivalent of sending texts and getting left on read. The compiler warned him they were incompatible, but he disabled warnings with -w and compiled anyway. Their entire relationship was just her waiting for him to return something meaningful while he just... existed. And people wonder why programmers have commitment issues.

The Uncalled Function Mystery

Spent 45 minutes debugging a function that wasn't returning a value, only to realize I never actually called the function in the first place. That moment of realization hits like a ton of bricks—you go from frantically searching for complex bugs to discovering you're the bug. It's like building an entire spaceship and forgetting to press the launch button. The compiler's just sitting there thinking, "I can't believe this human has a CS degree."

Ah yes, the classic "let me massively over-engineer this simple problem" approach. Nothing says "I'm a serious developer" like creating an entire utils file just to house that one sad, lonely function that converts a string to uppercase. It's like buying a mansion for your pet rock. Sure, your code structure might look impressive in the pull request, but we all know you're just trying to make those 3 lines of code feel important.

Ah, the eternal civil war among programmers trying to get the size of something. Is it count() ? size() ? length ? sizeof() ? len() ? Every damn language and library decided to pick their own favorite, and now we're all just Spider-Men pointing at each other in confusion. Nothing says "I'm a seasoned developer" like muscle memory making you type the wrong size function in every language and then cursing under your breath when the IDE throws a red squiggly line. Consistency? In programming? That's a good joke!
