Am Ia Master Prompter Or What

Ah, JavaScript - where "11" + 1 equals "111" but "11" - 1 equals 10. The language where type coercion is less of a feature and more of a practical joke played by sadistic language designers. The character's enthusiasm quickly evaporates when confronted with JavaScript's notorious string concatenation vs. numeric operation behavior. And lurking in the shadows? TypeScript, silently judging, ready to save us from ourselves with its static typing. It's like having a designated driver when the rest of us are drunk on dynamic typing.

Content Boss says to build a web app in IS and React Boss: "Why isn't this in Nextis? This should use Nextis.' I spend 10 hours refactoring rewriting Boss: "Why isn't this in TypeScript? This should use TS." ProarammerHumor.io spend 20 hours on the first set of reas Boss: "Why isn't this in Nextis? This should use Nextis." I spend 40 hours on the next set of reas Boss: "Why isn't this in TypeScript? This should use TS."

Content SO IMAGINE IF YOUR SHOPPING LIST COULD MAGICALLY CORRECT ITSELF IF YOU WROTE 'TOMATO' AS A FRUIT INSTEAD OF A VEGETABLE. THAT'S TYPESCRIPT IN REACT, EXCEPT IT'S FOR CODE, NOT GROCERIES, AND... UM, THE LIST ARGUES WITH YOU,

Ah yes, the classic "$800,000 bootcamp" that promises to transform you into a software engineer in just 3 months by teaching you *checks notes* approximately 87 programming languages, including some that barely exist anymore. Nothing says "legitimate education" like cramming Fortran, COBOL, and Assembly alongside React and TypeScript into 90 days. The "if you can't find a job you can spit on our faces" guarantee is the cherry on top of this scam sundae. Spoiler alert: The only thing you'll master in 3 months is how to lose $800K faster than a startup with free snacks and ping pong tables.

The eternal dilemma of function design perfectly illustrated on an IQ bell curve. The low-IQ crowd (0.1%) and high-IQ geniuses (0.1%) agree: "Just add a new function." Meanwhile, the average devs (34%) in the middle are sweating bullets, desperately clinging to their sacred principle of code reuse: "NO WE SHOULD ADD ANOTHER PARAMETER AND REUSE CODE!" It's the horseshoe theory of programming - both extremes of the intelligence spectrum somehow reach the same conclusion while the "well-actually" crowd in the middle is busy creating those monstrous functions with 17 optional parameters, 9 of which are booleans. And they wonder why nobody wants to maintain their code...
