The dependency house of cards strikes again! Nothing says "modern development" quite like your groundbreaking scientific simulation failing because console.log got a new emoji feature.

The Unholy Alliance Of Unicode And Physics

The Unholy Alliance Of Unicode And Physics
Oh. My. GOD. The unholy alliance of Unicode and particle physics is the most chaotic marriage since my ex tried to merge our Spotify playlists! 💀 On one side, we have Unicode - that absolute MESS of characters trying to represent EVERY SYMBOL KNOWN TO HUMANITY. On the other, the Standard Model of Particle Physics - scientists' desperate attempt to make sense of the universe's building blocks. And what do they have in common? Just "shoving existing shit together and fiddling with it until it mostly works" - which is basically the unofficial motto of ALL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT EVER. I'm not crying, you're crying! 😭
