Make Compilers Great Again

The modern JavaScript project directory, where config files multiply faster than rabbits. What started as a simple idea now requires 20+ config files just to tell your computer how to run "hello world". The character on the left represents the old-school developer shocked at seeing a modern TypeScript project with its ecosystem of linters, type checkers, and build tools. Meanwhile, the character on the right is just trying to survive in a world where your package.json needs its own support group.

Regular humans: *uses == to check equality* Programmers: *scoffs at ==, uses !== instead because type coercion is for the weak* Enlightened programmers: *monocle gleams* "I exclusively use the != operator with a logical NOT before my expression to assert truthiness while simultaneously inverting the result, thus proving my intellectual superiority." The evolution of operator snobbery is the true mark of a developer's journey. Next level: writing custom equality functions that take 27 parameters.

The JavaScript framework naming convention has officially reached peak confusion. First you're excited about Next.js, thinking you're cutting edge. Then suddenly everyone's talking about Nest.js and you have to pretend you knew the difference all along. By the time you figure that out, Nuxt.js appears and you're completely lost... wait, is it pronounced "nuxt" or "nuked"? And just when you thought you understood, you realize there's ANOTHER framework with practically the same name. At this point, I'm convinced framework creators are just hitting random keys near 'n' on the keyboard and adding ".js" to whatever comes out.

Oh look, it's the classic VS Code experience - where your brain flips upside down trying to figure out what you're actually doing! The text being upside down is basically what happens to your mental state after staring at those fancy IntelliSense suggestions for 8 hours straight. Your code starts making sense, then suddenly you're writing gibberish that somehow still compiles. Marked as duplicate, closed by moderator.

Ever wondered why your laptop fans sound like they're preparing for liftoff? Look no further than your node_modules folder! While your actual code might be a svelte stormtrooper, those dependencies are an absolute unit that would make the Death Star blush. 500 lines of your code somehow requires 500MB of someone else's code. And heaven forbid you run npm install on a weak WiFi connection – you could literally go make a sandwich, watch a Star Wars trilogy, and come back to find it still downloading the "essential" packages needed to center a div.
