Someone Delved Too Greedily And Too Deep

Content A vry minor bug report Me, been sleepless for 3 days Cast it into the fire. Destroy it! Tester No.

Content 3rd - Follow Software Engineer 3d 4 In 2021 a research paper was published showing most efficient programming languages. Paper is here, but sadly behind the paywall. Gotta love "free academic pursuit" where they take in public money and then hide the results. https:Inkd.ingFTCtMzU Anyway: It shows that if people care about energy footprint of their systems, they need to ditch things like ruby, python and perl. Typescript also is super inefficient too.

JavaScript: where NaN is a number, empty arrays are equal to zero, but not really, and adding three booleans equals exactly 3... sometimes. It's like the language was designed by someone throwing darts at a board of random programming concepts while blindfolded. The real kicker? That smug face at the bottom belongs to Brendan Eich, who created this beautiful mess in just 10 days. And now we're all stuck with type coercion that makes "91"-"1" equal 90 because... reasons. No wonder debugging JavaScript feels like trying to solve a murder mystery where everyone, including the detective, is lying.

Delegating the TypeScript migration to AI is the modern equivalent of tossing your problems over the wall to the junior dev. Nothing says "I've reached peak seniority" like asking Claude to convert your janky JavaScript codebase while you kick back and pretend you're "architecting." The best part? That "make no mistakes" command—as if AI doesn't hallucinate semicolons like I hallucinate deadlines. Next week's ticket: "Fix all the weird union types Claude created that somehow accept both strings and refrigerators."

The ultimate type-checking nightmare! Boolean questions should return true/false, not "maybe", "sometimes", or the dreaded string response. It's like asking "Is the server running?" and getting back "Well, it's Tuesday and Mercury is in retrograde..." Somewhere, a strongly-typed language is crying. The face perfectly captures that moment when you realize you'll need to add an extra validation layer because someone thought "Yes" and true were interchangeable. Classic rookie move that haunts even senior devs during code reviews.
