Make Compilers Great Again

Content Self-driving Car Hits Robot Dog. JavaScript's NaN likely culprit. In a bizarre accident, a Tesla self-driving car hit a Boston Dynamics robot dog on a quiet suburban street. The car's driverless software is being blamed for the accident, as it failed to properly cast a string to a number, causing the car to believe the dog was a car from a competing manufacturer, which must be at all times engaged in a high- speed race to see who's best. We spoke to the car's manufacturer, who told us they are "working hard to fix the issue." "We should have migrated to TypeScript ages ago, but Bob from HR became a parent last summer and had been asking for a raise ever since," said the manufacturer. "We just couldn't justify the cost." "We never thought this would happen," they added. "NaN is, by definition, not a number, so we never thought it would be possible for nothing to cause something to happen. That's not the Christian way." The robot dog, for its part, was reportedly unharmed in the accident because its world-class Rust codebase makes it "virtually indestructible."

Ah, the classic designer-turned-coder existential crisis. That moment when someone who's mastered the perfect drop shadow and pixel-perfect layouts suddenly faces the abyss of programming logic. They're staring into the void with those wide, terrified eyes because there's no Figma plugin for learning JavaScript. Trust me, I've seen this look on dozens of UI/UX folks over the years when they realize that "responsive" means more than just looking good on mobile. The learning curve isn't a curve at all—it's a damn cliff with sharks at the bottom.

The ultimate programmer dad joke that makes CS professors chuckle smugly. In Boolean logic, !false (the logical NOT of false) evaluates to true . So technically, the statement "!false is true" is... well, true. It's like the programming equivalent of saying "the opposite of a lie is the truth" but with syntax that makes non-programmers stare blankly while developers snort coffee through their noses.

The existential crisis every developer faces at 2 AM while debugging. We name something a "variable" and then immediately declare it as "const" or "final" or "readonly" - essentially telling it not to vary. The cognitive dissonance is real! It's like naming your pet rock "Runner" or your cactus "Cuddles." No wonder our code gets confused and throws exceptions - we've been gaslighting our variables this whole time!
