When A Developer Dissects English Like It's JavaScript

When asked about a disliked programming language, this dev chose violence and went after English itself. Comparing our native tongue to a poorly designed programming language is painfully accurate. The semicolon usage is indeed arbitrary; we've got silent letters that contribute nothing; and try explaining "their/there/they're" to someone learning English without sounding like you're describing a bizarre legacy codebase. And don't get me started on the grammar police who act like linters with all warnings set to errors. No namespaces either—just ask anyone named John Smith about namespace collisions.

Good Idea, Bad Execution

Ah yes, the modern debugging workflow: write broken code, catch the error, and let AI fix it for you. Because nothing says "senior developer" like outsourcing your bug fixes to ChatGPT. Next week: teaching AI to attend your standup meetings while you "work from hammock."

Darth JavaScript: When Math Becomes A String Theory

Ah, JavaScript's type coercion strikes again! The top panel shows the horror of seeing 1 + 1 + 1 = 111 instead of 3. The middle panel reveals the dark side of the force: adding quotation marks turns numbers into strings, causing concatenation instead of addition. This is why senior devs wake up screaming at night. In JavaScript, "1" + "1" + "1" happily gives you "111" because strings gonna string. Meanwhile, proper languages are watching from a distance, shaking their heads in disappointment. The final panel shows the acceptance phase of grief that every JS developer eventually reaches. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain who writes parseInt() everywhere just to be safe.

Vibe Coders Centering A Div Without AI

The eternal CSS struggle visualized perfectly! Two cats sitting symmetrically on either side of a laptop—nature's way of demonstrating display: flex; justify-content: center; before AI could help. Frontend devs spent years perfecting div centering with margin hacks and float nightmares, while these cats just... intuitively get it. Balanced. Proportional. No Stack Overflow required. The cats have mastered what took humans decades to figure out with CSS.
