This comic brilliantly captures how different dev roles handle bugs with wildly different energy levels. JavaScript devs panic-flee from bugs like they're on fire (accurate), then copy-paste Stack Overflow solutions while literally burning, and convince themselves the weight of technical debt is totally fine. Classic. Backend devs go full Batman mode—methodically tracking down bugs with detective skills, then hunting down whichever dev committed the cursed code. The cape is metaphorical but the intimidation is real. Web devs are Spider-Man releasing bugs into production, then trying to "organize" them (read: make it worse), until someone yells "SUDO" and they have no choice but to comply. The power of root commands compels you! Technical Support are the Jedi mind-tricking users that obvious bugs are "features." Three times. With a straight face. It's not a crash, it's an unexpected exit feature! QA is literally Godzilla destroying everything in sight, then casually leaving. Their job is chaos, and they're excellent at it. C++ devs can't find bugs because they're too busy dealing with segfaults, memory leaks, and undefined behavior. Solution? Rage quit with rm -rf and the Infinity Gauntlet. If you can't fix it, delete everything.

The JavaScript ecosystem in a nutshell. Asked to solve a basic algorithmic problem? Just install a package for it. Why reinvent the wheel when someone's already published is-prime to npm with 47 dependencies, half of which are deprecated? The interviewer's face says it all—equal parts confusion, disbelief, and grudging respect for the audacity. Because let's be real, in production you'd probably use a library too. But maybe, just maybe, you should know how to check if a number is divisible by anything other than 1 and itself without reaching for your package manager.

Remember when your entire project was like 50KB? Yeah, me neither. Now you need to install 847 dependencies just to center a div. That node_modules folder has become so comically massive it's basically a black hole that consumes disk space faster than you can say "npm install." Modern web development: where your actual code is 2KB but your dependencies weigh more than a small car. Meanwhile jQuery is sitting there like "I was 30KB and did everything you needed" but nobody wants to hear it because we're too busy configuring webpack for the 47th time. Fun fact: The average node_modules folder contains more files than the number of stars visible to the naked eye. Okay I made that up, but it feels true.

Developers In 2020 Vs 2025

AI Webdev Algorithms Javascript Programming

The evolution of developer laziness has reached its final form. In 2020, some poor soul manually hardcoded every single number check like they were writing the Ten Commandments of Boolean Logic. "If it's 0, false. If it's 1, true. If it's 2, false..." Someone really sat there and typed out the entire pattern instead of just using the modulo operator like num % 2 === 0 . Fast forward to 2025, and we've collectively given up on thinking altogether. Why bother understanding basic math operations when you can just ask an AI to solve it for you? Just yeet the problem at OpenAI and pray it doesn't hallucinate a response that breaks production. The best part? The AI probably returns the hardcoded version from 2020 anyway. We went from reinventing the wheel to not even knowing what a wheel is anymore. Progress! 🚀

When you've been writing JavaScript for so long that you forget how to use normal words anymore. That moment when someone says "use using" and your brain immediately autocorrects it to using use = useUsing("use") because you've been drowning in React hooks for the past 6 months. The guy whispering looks like he just discovered a revolutionary pattern while the other dude is having an existential crisis realizing he's been useState -ing, useEffect -ing, and useContext -ing so much that the word "use" has lost all semantic meaning. Welcome to the hook life, where everything is a use and nothing hurts... except your sanity.

The bell curve strikes again. You've got the newbies on the left who just discovered JavaScript's type coercion and think they've unlocked the secrets of the universe. On the right, the grizzled veterans who've seen enough production bugs to know that literally every language has its own special brand of chaos. And there in the middle? The vast majority who picked JavaScript as their punching bag because it's trendy to dunk on JS. Plot twist: they're using it in their day job anyway because the entire web runs on it. The real joke is that all programming languages are weird and quirky once you dig deep enough. JavaScript just has the audacity to do it in a browser where everyone can see.

When RAM prices quadruple in less than a year and your entire business model is "just download more Chrome tabs," you're gonna have a bad time. Electron devs watching their apps go from "slightly bloated" to "mortgage payment" in system requirements. That sweating guy meme face says it all—they're out here shipping desktop apps that bundle an entire Chromium browser just to display a to-do list, and now users need to take out a loan to afford the RAM. For context: Electron lets you build desktop apps with web technologies, which is convenient but notoriously memory-hungry since each app basically runs its own browser instance. When RAM was cheap, nobody cared. Now? Your Slack, Discord, and VS Code are collectively eating more resources than a small data center.

The eternal debate that splits the programming world harder than tabs vs spaces. Baby's first word is "A-a-a" and the proud parent thinks it's adorable... until some psychopath suggests that arrays should start at 1. Zero-indexing is sacred. It's not just tradition—it's mathematically elegant, it's how memory offsets work, and it's been the foundation of programming since the dawn of time. But then you've got languages like Lua, MATLAB, and R out here acting like index 1 is where life begins, and frankly, they deserve to be left in that dumpster. The horror on that parent's face perfectly captures every C, Python, Java, and JavaScript developer's reaction when they encounter a 1-indexed language. It's not just wrong—it's an affront to nature itself.

Remember when building a cross-platform desktop app seemed like a good idea? Just wrap an entire Chromium browser around your glorified calculator app, they said. It'll be fine, they said. Now every todo list app on your machine is basically running its own copy of Chrome, each one hogging more RAM than your entire OS did in 2010. Your 32GB of RAM? Gone. Your fans spinning up for a chat app? Normal. Your CPU crying because you opened Slack, VS Code, Discord, and Spotify at the same time? Just another Tuesday. The real kicker? RAM prices are skyrocketing because everyone's buying GPUs for AI training, so now you get to pay premium prices to run five instances of Chromium just to check your messages. What a time to be alive.

So you're telling me that accessing an array with a negative index in JavaScript not only works but actually adds a property to the array? And then when you check the array, it shows you this cursed -1: 4 sitting there like it belongs? The bell curve perfectly captures the JavaScript experience: beginners think it's ridiculous (correct), experts also think it's ridiculous (also correct), but the middle crowd has Stockholm syndrome and will defend it with their lives. "It makes sense bro, everything in JS is an object!" Yeah, and that's exactly the problem. JavaScript treats arrays like objects because they are objects, so test[-1] = 4 is just adding a property named "-1" to your array object. It's technically in the spec, which somehow makes it worse.

Do You Guys Think Memory Efficiency Will Be A Trend Again

Electron apps: where your simple to-do list needs 800MB of RAM because why optimize when you can just ship an entire Chromium browser with it? The developer confidently explains their revolutionary idea while someone from a timeline where RAM actually costs money arrives to stop this madness. But modern devs don't care—memory is cheap and abundant, so let's just bundle V8, Node.js, and the kitchen sink for that calculator app. Meanwhile, embedded systems engineers are weeping in a corner with their 64KB constraints.

JS Is A Very Respectable Language

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. 🎪
