Programming Javascript is roughly the equivalent of hitting your head with a hammer or trying to uninstall McAfee.
As if Javascript wasn’t complex enough, let’s introduce TypeScript and Coffescript and then write transpilers so we can convert said languages back into Javascript, which we could have done in the first place.
Nobody uses coffeescript anymore, and typescript is there to make things easier not harder.

And all the new versions of all the above constantly being released. I’m so glad I don’t use those languages anymore.
Use stringly-typed everything, and always padStart your numbers.
Saves running into issues with numbers outside the 52-bit integer range.
And padding start means you don’t have to worry about pesky sort functions.Just don’t do maths. Simple.
Maybe you could do a manual sort.
Provide a “captcha” prompt, and ask which comes first in the list… You know, to make sure the user is a human! And you get free sorting.Provide a “captcha” prompt, and ask which comes first in the list… You know, to make sure the user is a human! And you get free sorting.
I mean, this strangely is a compelling idea…
I always try to prove myself human with wrong answers. Typically the first screen is an AI training screen, then the next screen is one the computer knows but wants to see if you know. By answering the first one wrong and the second correct, I’m hoping to poison the data.
Just don’t do maths. Simple.
That’s a good rule for life in general, really.
Turn JavaScript into Bash with these easy steps…
Note if you put the image link in the url bar of the post rather than the body it lets people see it while scrolling (url + title can be edited so you can edit it to do that still if you want)
thanks!
using 3rd party client (and first “image post” I’ve made on this platform) and wasn’t sure how image post should be made.
JavaScript knows my truest fears too LOL
JavaScript: You chose this path, now I have a surprise for you
Deploying surprise in 3, 2… Hold up for a seco d that wasn suppossed to happen.

Ugh, I just ran into this in Terraform. Why is this a thing?
It’s just sorted alphabetically (technically it is the UTF16 code order). To be fair it’s a sane default for most use cases. In JS case you can define a very simple callback to change the behavior to numeric sorting (a,b => a<b). Many other sorters provide a flag instead, but numeric sorting is seldom the default as it is not as useful most of the time in weakly typed languages.
