Amen

Poor kid being dragged into JavaScript by divorcing parents. It's like being forced to learn type coercion when all you wanted was a stable childhood. The yellow abyss of JS awaits below - where undefined is sometimes null but never equal to it, and "2" + 2 = "22" because... reasons. The parents might reconcile someday, but that trauma of callback hell stays forever.

Cross-platform development promised us sleek futuristic vehicles gliding smoothly across Linux, macOS, and Windows. Instead, we got a post-apocalyptic convoy hauling PyInstaller, DLLs, .NET runtime, Chromium (because why NOT bundle an entire browser?), Unity runtime, inpackage, and Node.js like they're essential survival supplies in Mad Max. The expectation: Write once, run anywhere! The reality: Write once, spend three weeks figuring out why it works on your machine but explodes on literally every other platform. Bonus points for the 500MB "lightweight" app that's basically Electron wearing a trench coat pretending to be native. Nothing says "cross-platform efficiency" quite like shipping half the internet just to display a button. Beautiful.

Seeking the answer to parsing HTML with regex is like waiting for divine wisdom that never comes. 7.5*10^6 years later (that's longer than Earth has existed), and the computer's still thinking... because there IS no good answer. The punchline? Using regex to parse HTML is fundamentally flawed. HTML is a context-free grammar while regex is a regular expression - mathematically incapable of handling nested structures properly. It's like trying to eat soup with a fork - theoretically possible if you're desperate enough, but there are proper tools for that (like actual HTML parsers). The comic brilliantly captures the eternal wait for a solution that doesn't exist. Some problems in programming aren't meant to be solved - they're meant to be avoided entirely.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these AI startups strangling the life out of decent customer support! 😱 Every website that once had actual humans helping you now has these pathetic chatbots that understand your problem about as well as a goldfish understands calculus. "Have you tried refreshing the page?" NO JANET, MY ENTIRE FINANCIAL FUTURE IS HANGING BY A THREAD AND YOUR SUGGESTION IS TO REFRESH?! And that "Now Kith" at the bottom? *chef's kiss* Perfect representation of tech bros forcing this unholy marriage between websites and chatbots that nobody asked for. The digital equivalent of watching someone suffocate a perfectly good pizza with pineapple. MAKE IT STOP!

Someone just committed career suicide with the statement "java and javascript are literally the same" — a claim so blasphemous it's being documented under "Photos Taken Seconds Before Tragedy." The relationship between Java and JavaScript is like claiming a car and carpet are the same because they both start with "car." One's an island; the other's just visiting. The comment section is undoubtedly preparing pitchforks and compiler errors as we speak.

OMG, the absolute STATE of web development in 2023! 💀 JavaScript has literally CONQUERED THE ENTIRE STACK like some power-hungry dictator! Front-end? JavaScript. Back-end? ALSO JavaScript. Database? You'd think we'd draw the line somewhere, but NOPE - straight to JavaScript with MongoDB and its JSON documents! It's like watching JavaScript stage a hostile takeover while other languages stand by helplessly. The web development world has fallen, and JavaScript is wearing all the medals now! Next thing you know, your toaster will be running Node.js! THE HORROR!
