Test In Production: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Content HaHa says: July 8, 2022 at 3:56 pm Javascript? Just nuke it from orbit. It has one purpose: When applying for a SE job ask 'What server side Javascript do you run?' If the answer isn't something along the lines of 'None, are you insane?', run away. Terminate the interview right there and leave. You don't want to work for those twits. Javascript could compile to the tightest machine code on earth and it's ecosystem would still suck big wet donkey balls. It's where all the worst coders have spent the last 20 years on the most monumental steaming pile, ever. Javascript outside the browser is a tell, like someone who drives a French car. No fixing that level of stupid. Wish them 'Better luck next reincarnation' and never look back. Reply Report comment

Ah, the quarterly ritual of revisiting your own code from the distant past. First comes the shock and horror. "Why would anyone write this garbage?" Then the dawning realization that you are the criminal mastermind behind this atrocity. Twenty years in this industry and I still leave cryptic comments like "fix this later" and "temporary solution" that somehow survive three product releases. The best documentation is always that moment of clarity in the fourth panel when you finally remember what sleep-deprived, deadline-haunted version of yourself thought this spaghetti nightmare was a good idea.

The evolution of coding tools, as told by Vince McMahon's increasingly ecstatic reactions: Visual Studio Code? A mild nod of approval. Notepad++? Now we're talking - getting excited! Regular Notepad? *heavy breathing intensifies* Pen and paper? ABSOLUTE ECSTASY! Ancient stone tablet? *MIND COMPLETELY BLOWN* Nothing says "I understand modern software development" quite like forcing students to code on dead trees. Bonus points if you have to trace through a recursive function without being able to hit backspace.

The glamorous Hollywood portrayal of programming: holographic interfaces, floating code, and neon binary. The reality? Just staring into the void for hours wondering why your perfectly valid code isn't working. That thousand-yard stare at an empty pool isn't contemplating the meaning of life—it's mentally tracing through a function call stack for the 47th time. The real programming experience isn't hacking mainframes in sunglasses; it's sitting catatonic in a chair while your brain frantically tries to understand why adding a semicolon somehow broke everything else.
