Please Don't Make Me Go Back There

IMAGINE THE UTOPIA WE WERE ROBBED OF! 😭 JavaScript, the language that powers 99% of the web, was infamously created by Brendan Eich in just 10 DAYS back in 1995. TEN. DAYS. The result? A language with more quirks than a cat café on catnip! One more day could have fixed the nightmare that is type coercion, the existential crisis of null vs undefined , and that absolute TRAVESTY where [] + [] equals an empty string but [] + {} is "[object Object]"! The audacity! Now we're all stuck patching this cosmic joke with TypeScript like putting designer bandaids on a coding catastrophe. Just ONE more day, Brendan! We could've had flying cars instead of framework fatigue!

Ah, the classic "I'll fix it later" comment that's been sitting there since 2019. The code has an if-else statement that does exactly the same thing in both branches. Someone probably spent hours debugging why their overloaded function wasn't working, then just gave up and wrote this abomination with a promise to fix it "when TypeScript understands overloading well enough." Spoiler alert: they never fixed it, and three devs have since quit rather than touch this cursed file.

The JavaScript ecosystem has reached peak absurdity with a package called "is-thirteen" that literally just checks if a number equals 13. That's it. That's the entire functionality. But wait! The prophecy foretells an even greater absurdity: someone creating "is-not-thirteen" that imports "is-thirteen" as a dependency just to negate its return value. Because why write num !== 13 when you could add two more dependencies to your already bloated node_modules folder? And the worst part? Deep down we all know it's inevitable. The npm wasteland grows stronger with each passing day.
