Why Make It Complicated

JavaScript: where errors silently build a stairway to hell while you smile, blissfully unaware. The C++ dev gets crushed by compiler errors immediately. Meanwhile, the JavaScript dev happily skips along, building an entire application on a foundation of runtime disasters that won't reveal themselves until production. Nothing like that special feeling when your JS code runs perfectly the first time... right before it spectacularly implodes when a user clicks a button.

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."

Your IDE watching you create variables like they're endangered species that must be preserved at all costs, only to abandon them immediately. That look of absolute betrayal when your linter highlights the fifth unused variable of the day. It's like adopting puppies and leaving them at the shelter 20 minutes later. Your IDE is judging you harder than your ex who caught you saying "I'll optimize this later" for the 47th time this week.

The evolution of every developer's coding style! At first, you write verbose conditional blocks like some kind of coding newbie. Then one day, you discover the ternary operator and suddenly you're wearing sunglasses because you're just that cool. Why waste 6 lines checking if a == 0 when you can flex on everyone with return (a == 0) ? true : false; ? Of course, the truly enlightened would just write return a == 0; but that wouldn't make for such a sassy Pikachu meme, would it?
