Worlds Best Programmer Strikes Again
Ah yes, the classic "I just discovered databases 101 and now I'm a cybersecurity expert" moment. Nothing says "world's best programmer" like not understanding that primary keys exist.

If only Stack Overflow had a "close as billionaire misconception" option.

HTML is a markup language for structuring web content, not a programming language—it can't process data or execute logic. Calling HTML a programming language around actual developers is like calling a bicycle a motorcycle because they both have wheels. The creator of this abomination deserves a special place in developer hell, right next to the people who use regex to parse HTML.

Nothing screams academic credibility like claiming "JavaScript (or Java)" as if they're interchangeable. That's like saying "A Ferrari (or a bicycle)" is a mode of transportation. The author clearly did their research by checking the "both have Java in the name" box and calling it a day. Next chapter probably explains how HTML is the best programming language and Stack Overflow is just a website about pancakes.
