The Three Stages Of Programmer Evolution

The futile battle against our AI overlords continues! Racing against code completion is the modern developer's version of challenging a calculator to a math duel. Your fingers become a blur of motion, desperately hammering keys at superhuman speed just to prove you haven't been made obsolete yet. Meanwhile, the AI is basically yawning while it suggests exactly what you were going to type anyway. Nothing says "job security" like frantically typing "console.log" before GitHub Copilot can do it for you.

Ah, the classic dilemma of the paranoid developer. Rejecting the simple "Save Game" option because deep down we all know that's just begging for a crash. Meanwhile, the "Save and Exit Game" option gets the approving nod because it's like wearing both a belt AND suspenders. Why trust a single save operation when you can immediately retreat to safety? It's not paranoia if the code really is out to get you. The unspoken truth of game development: nothing validates your trust issues quite like losing three hours of progress because you dared to believe in a simple "Save" button.

The JavaScript ecosystem has evolved into a bizarre bazaar of utility packages with download counts that would make NASA jealous. We've got packages to check if numbers are odd (1.5M downloads/month), even (712K/month), or negative zero (98M/month)! Meanwhile, "is-primitive" quietly collects 12M downloads monthly for telling us if something is... wait for it... primitive. Revolutionary stuff. But the crown jewel? "kind-of" with a staggering 438M downloads/month to determine a value's type—something JavaScript can do natively with typeof. It's like buying bottled air when you're already outside. The NPM ecosystem: where we collectively decided that typing "number % 2 === 0" was just too much work. And we wonder why our node_modules folder needs its own zip code.

Someone's bootleg tech sticker collection is giving me serious eye twitches! That "JavaScript" logo with Java's coffee cup, PHP looking like it survived a blender accident, and don't get me started on that dollar-store version of Rust with its random green letter. The GitHub cat appears to have been replaced by a fox having an identity crisis, while VSCode's logo seems to have been drawn from memory after three energy drinks. And what's with that terrified blue gopher creature at the bottom? Is that supposed to be Go after it saw this abomination of logos? Whoever created this clearly learned design from the same tutorial that teaches people to center divs using 47 nested tables.
