Consult Your Category Theorist If Side Effects Persist
Ah, functional programming's miracle drug! FUNCTIONEX (with its fancy lambda symbol) promises to cure your codebase of those nasty impurities. Just 45mg of pure functions and your spaghetti code will transform into a mathematical paradise! But watch out for those side effects! While your category theorist prescribed this to keep your functions pure, you might experience unexpected symptoms like actually having to write to files or databases. The horror! Functional purists are currently filing a class action lawsuit because nobody warned them they'd still need to interact with the real world occasionally.

Array Dot Reverse Have Sealed Your Fate Brendan Eich
This meme is hitting JavaScript developers right where it hurts! The title "Array.reverse Have Sealed Your Fate Brendan Eich" is a direct callout to the creator of JavaScript himself. The cardinal sin being mocked here is writing methods that mutate the original array AND return the same instance - like our beloved villain Array.reverse() . It's the programming equivalent of changing someone's furniture around while they're in the bathroom and then gaslighting them about it. Pure functions? Never heard of her. These mutating methods are why senior devs wake up in cold sweats at 3 AM screaming "IMMUTABILITY!" before checking their git history. Even God himself (or at least a cartoon deity with an impressive beard) has reserved a special place in programmer hell for the perpetrators. Not just regular hell - the boiler room. Where they'll probably be forced to debug Internet Explorer compatibility issues for eternity.
