You're probably not ready for programming

Debugging. Hacking is stepping into a program&#x27;s skin. It&#x27;s spinning your laptop around to turn into an effect what someone just blurted out in conversation about what the app should do. Hacking is looking at 3D view in FF and saying &quot;cool.&quot; Not &quot;why?&quot; Hacking is rewriting the same if statement knowing full well the profiler will tell you the story. Hacking is forever hoping the damn computer will do what you want, or feel, rather than what you tell it. Hacking is forever refactoring like a kid smacking piano keys until 4am because you know that daylight shit is just tedium and yet another lunch with essentially the same ingredients. It is living to the fullest extent of one&#x27;s own stupidity, and thriving on the next crushing blow to your ego.<p>Hacking is ego death.

&quot;you won&#x27;t make it very far unless you just like being told why what you wrote is bad every day.&quot;<p>This is what I try to explain to people, but I fail every time.

&gt;Please, explain to me why JS doesnt suck.<p>I have no idea why the author has meandered onto this tangent, but in any case: no, that&#x27;s not how it works. You made the preposterously unlikely claim that JavaScript is &quot;literally the worste programming language ever&quot;. Not just a bad language, not just hyperbolically &quot;totally the worst&quot;, but <i>literally</i> the worst language ever created.<p>Defending that position is on you.

<i>&quot;Javascript is literally the worste [sic] programming language ever.&quot;</i><p>The author clearly has a lack of historical perspective. I&#x27;m not a big fan of JavaScript, but I&#x27;d much rather program in JavaScript than BASIC or COBOL or FORTRAN IV.

Random person&#x27;s random opinion. Not to be rude but almost none of these types of articles, whether positive or negative, should be taken all that seriously nor be given the time of day in form of discussion.

404 error. Is this some kind of level?

For some reason, I enjoyed that read.
