Type Shit

The duality of JavaScript hatred is real. Beginners hate it because they can't grasp why [] + [] is an empty string or why typeof null is "object". Meanwhile, seasoned devs hate it because they've seen the horrors lurking beneath—callback hell, prototype inheritance, and the absolute chaos of asynchronous programming before Promises existed. The truth hurts: understanding JavaScript fully doesn't make you love it—it just gives you better reasons to complain about it during standup meetings while still using it for literally everything.

THE AUDACITY! JavaScript haters have been screaming about its demise for DECADES, and yet here we are, still using it to power 99.9% of the web! The meme absolutely DESTROYS the haters with that savage comeback - "If there were a better substitute, a single language would have been sufficient." BURN! 🔥 Meanwhile, JavaScript is just standing there, arms crossed, absolutely UNBOTHERED while frameworks come and go like seasonal fashion trends. TypeScript, Node.js, React, Vue - they're all just JavaScript wearing different outfits! The language everyone loves to hate but CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT!

That moment when your compiler decides to ignore 9000 red flags and somehow produces an executable. Sure, it'll probably crash at runtime in some spectacular fashion, but for now... victory? The "I love technology" statement is just the chef's kiss of sarcasm that every developer feels when their catastrophic code inexplicably works. It's like driving a car held together with duct tape and prayer.

The JavaScript ecosystem's greatest fear: finding out some random AI model was trained on their npm packages. The title "I Tsc Alled Dis Ti Lla Tion" is a play on "distillation" - the process where AI models learn from other models - but butchered to include "tsc" (TypeScript compiler) and broken into syllables like someone having a panic attack. Nothing sends a JavaScript developer into hysterics faster than discovering their precious code snippets are now being regurgitated by ChatGPT. Meanwhile, the logos for TypeScript, React, and Node.js perfectly represent the frameworks watching their intellectual property get slurped up by the AI void.

The ultimate programmer paradox: !false evaluates to true , but the statement "it's funny because it's true" is itself a boolean expression that's both logically sound and a meta-joke. Seven years into debugging other people's code and I still chuckle at these elementary boolean puns while questioning my life choices. The real joke is that we spend hours hunting down logic errors caused by a single misplaced exclamation mark.
