Ah, the sacred art of variable naming. When your brain sees userId , it reads "user ID." But when it sees userid , your inner voice screams "USER-id???" like some confused database goblin. This is the hill many senior devs choose to die on after years of staring at poorly named variables. We'll spend 15 minutes in code review arguing about capitalization but somehow let that 500-line function with no comments slide right through.

The ultimate hipster programmer manifesto has arrived! At the top, we have the "Reject modernity" squad featuring React, Tailwind, Vue, some hipster hamster, and TypeScript—basically everything recruiters won't stop messaging you about on LinkedIn. Meanwhile, the "Embrace tradition" crew is just chilling below with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Python—you know, the technologies that actually keep the internet from imploding. It's like choosing between a complicated pour-over coffee ritual versus just drinking the office coffee that somehow still works. Sure, the modern frameworks look impressive on your resume, but when the apocalypse comes, who do you think will still be able to make a website work? The person who can write vanilla JS or the one who needs 37 dependencies just to center a div?

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."

Professor: "It's semicolon; we will hardly use it." Fast forward two weeks and suddenly these freshmen are putting semicolons after every line of code like their grade depends on it. Nothing quite like the trauma of your first compiler error that could've been fixed with a simple ";". The irony is that after 10 years in the industry, I now use languages where semicolons are optional and I'm back to hardly using them. Full circle, baby.
