Keep It Simple Stupid

The AUDACITY of JavaScript developers to create an entire UNIVERSE just to print numbers 0-15! Look at that top code—creating an array, filling it, mapping it, and THEN forEach-ing it?! HONEY, WHY?! Meanwhile, the humble for loop at the bottom is sitting there like "I've been doing this since 1995, darling." This is the programming equivalent of using a rocket launcher to kill a spider. I can't even! 💅

Developer Said The Map Had O(0) Complexity And A Simple If-Else Would Have O(2) Complexity...

Oh, the mythical O(0) complexity! This is like claiming your code runs before you even write it. And O(2)? I guess that's twice as fast as O(1) and half as fast as O(4)? 🤦‍♂️ What we're seeing here is a beautiful map lookup with constant time complexity - that's O(1) for those keeping score at home. Meanwhile, our "complexity expert" is probably the same person who thinks adding more if-statements makes the code run faster because "the computer has more options to choose from." Next week: the same developer discovers the revolutionary O(-1) algorithm that finishes before it starts!
