This Terminator-inspired meme perfectly captures the holy war between backend developers. The Terminator asks if the kid's mom is a backend developer, then drops the nuclear bomb: "JavaScript is the best language for backend." The mom agrees enthusiastically, confirming her technical heresy. The Terminator's final line—announcing the kid's foster parents are dead—is basically how Node.js developers get treated at serious backend engineering conferences. Nothing says "your bloodline is weak and history will forget you" quite like suggesting JavaScript belongs on a server.
