If Anything Can Be Written In JavaScript
The ultimate cosmic horror for system admins everywhere. Galactus, devourer of worlds, has demands that would make Cthulhu shudder: rewriting the Linux kernel in JavaScript. Just imagine - your mission-critical infrastructure running on a language where [] + [] equals an empty string and [] + {} equals "[object Object]". The kernel panics would be replaced with "undefined is not a function" and your uptime would be measured in milliseconds. No wonder they couldn't negotiate. Some prices are too high, even for the survival of humanity.

Me Looking For The Right NPM Package
Just another Tuesday, paddling through the 1.3 million packages on NPM, hoping to find that magical dependency that won't introduce 300 vulnerabilities or break your entire project next week. The search continues through the endless sea of abandoned projects, cryptominers, and that one package with decent documentation but hasn't been updated since 2017. Keep rowing.

The Package Manager Betrayal
The package manager betrayal saga! When you use npm to install pnpm, you're essentially using the old tool to birth its replacement. The cat's face of pure existential dread says it all—watching as you cuddle with the shiny new package manager while npm realizes it's being phased out of your development stack. It's like hiring someone on LinkedIn to update your LinkedIn profile to "seeking new opportunities." The circle of JavaScript life is brutal.

Great Now We Wait
You innocently add a tiny 1KB package to your project, and suddenly your terminal transforms into a black hole of dependency hell. First, you're standing impatiently. Then checking your watch. Next thing you know, you're sitting in the field contemplating your life choices. Finally, you're just lying there, accepting your mortality as npm installs the entire internet just to make your button slightly rounder. The circle of JavaScript life: birth, dependency installation, death.

Npm Install: The Universal Hacking Accusation
The eternal struggle of developers trying to help non-tech friends with their computers. You innocently type "npm install" to set up a cool project, and suddenly you're being accused of cyber espionage by someone who thinks command line = hacking. Nothing says "I'm a dangerous computer criminal" quite like installing a React todo app. The best part? Explaining that npm stands for "Node Package Manager" only makes you sound even more suspicious. Next time just tell them you're "downloading more RAM" – they'll believe that.

Npm Install Is Object
Oh. My. God. The absolute DRAMA of JavaScript developers! 🙄 Instead of writing a simple function themselves, they'll drag in 47 BAJILLION npm packages like SpongeBob hauling that ridiculous mountain of presents! Why write 10 lines of code when you can install an entire ecosystem with 9,427 dependencies that'll break in six months? The shopping cart is literally SCREAMING under the weight of all those unnecessary packages! Meanwhile, the function they needed could've been written faster than it takes to type "npm install massive-overkill-package-for-simple-task"! It's the developer equivalent of buying an entire Home Depot to hang a single picture frame!

Content You're a bunch of node.js hipsters that just HAVE to install everything you read on Hacker News! But Docker allows us to run our applications anywhere! Do you hear yourself? Why do we need docker if we're running a VM? A container inside a container!!!

The Node_Modules Backpacking Adventure
The eternal struggle of modern web development: Your actual app code is a measly 300kb, but somehow you're lugging around 12GB of node_modules like some kind of digital pack mule. Nothing says "efficient coding" like needing 40,000x more space for dependencies than your actual product. And we wonder why our laptops sound like they're preparing for takeoff every time we run npm install .

Npm Install Malware: The Self-Destructive Curiosity
Ah, the JavaScript ecosystem's most dedicated users - people who literally type "npm install malware" and hit enter. The package has 12 weekly downloads, was last updated 9 years ago, and somehow still claims 12 victims weekly. The best part? It's ISC licensed, so you're legally permitted to destroy your own system! How thoughtful! I'm torn between admiring these developers' curiosity and questioning their survival instincts. It's like watching someone lick a frozen pole "just to see what happens" - except with their production servers.

People Do It For You
When you need to check if a number is odd, but writing n % 2 !== 0 is too mainstream, so you create a 1.3M downloads/month npm package that emails Google and Reddit support to ask them. The function has 50 lines of code to send emails, parse responses, and return a Promise, when it could be a one-liner. Modern JavaScript development in its purest form - why solve a problem in 1 line when you can create an entire microservice ecosystem?

The Programmer's Confidence Curve
The eternal programmer journey in one graph! First, you install Node.js and suddenly you're a "full-stack developer" conquering Mount Stupid with unearned confidence. Then reality hits—your app crashes in production, your dependencies break, and you discover there are 47 JavaScript frameworks you've never heard of. Welcome to the Valley of Despair! Eventually, you start climbing that Slope of Enlightenment, learning that semicolons aren't optional (fight me), and that StackOverflow isn't just a website but a lifestyle. If you survive long enough, you might reach the Plateau of Sustainability, where you finally admit that no one—absolutely no one—understands webpack configs.
