Why Make It Complicated

The evolutionary scale of iteration methods, as told by expanding brain memes. For loops? That's entry-level stuff any bootcamp grad can handle. While loops? Slightly more sophisticated, you're starting to think about conditions rather than just counting. Recursion? Now you're cooking with gas—calling a function within itself like some kind of code inception. But map and lambda functions? That's functional programming enlightenment right there. The kind of code that makes junior devs stare blankly while senior devs nod approvingly before muttering "elegant solution" under their breath. Just remember: with great power comes great stack overflow... and I don't mean the website.

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.

Behold! The MYTHICAL CREATURE known as the "entry-level developer" according to job listings! 🙄 You want to break into tech? HONEY, PLEASE! First, master 17 programming languages, 3 cloud platforms, every database known to mankind, and while you're at it, BUILD AN OPERATING SYSTEM FROM SCRATCH! The audacity of HR expecting you to wear a "Full Stack Developer" hoodie while carrying a "@SeniorDeveloper" bag and being SURROUNDED by tech logos that would make even a 20-year veteran break into a cold sweat! Entry level position: Must know JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C#, Ruby, Angular, Node.js, AWS, GCP, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kotlin, Swift... and we're offering a WHOPPING $15/hour! But there's free coffee in the break room, so... TOTALLY WORTH IT, RIGHT?! 💅

Content terminally online engine... tek.... 19h We Abandoned Version Control and Saved Hundreds of Engineering Hours a Month. In the post below I will explain how you can directly deploy your code using FTP. No typescript, no cloud, no version control.

The ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of JavaScript development! 😱 You're literally stepping on a rake and SMACKING yourself in the face every five minutes! Meanwhile, TypeScript developers are doing professional-grade skateboard tricks like they were BORN on a half-pipe! Sure, JavaScript lets you code with the wild abandon of a caffeinated toddler at a candy store, but TypeScript is over there preventing runtime errors like it's getting PAID PER SAVE. The difference is so dramatic it's practically a Broadway musical waiting to happen! 💅

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.
