Hehehe, ok.

Those require lines there, they’re importing code written elsewhere. We call that code a library. Take the first one:

var zero = require("number-zero");

defines a variable called zero, imports a library called number-zero (not a real library btw, just a joke), and assigns its value (assumed to be the constant 0) to the variable. Later in line 19, zero is read.

The joke is that you wouldn’t even write line 2 and use a simple 0 instead of zero in line 19. The code is full of unnecessary imports of basic language components.

Everything is from an imported library

as unknown as any

TS dev here. Yep.

There’s worse, but not by much. Looking at you, PHP

This. I know some people who have switched to vapes and have steadily reduced their nicotine to 0.

Come on, you have to admit that “proper use” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The GIGO problem is not just a result of "mis"use, but a pervasive and steadily worsening problem.

Yea, didn’t you hear calling it otherwise makes you tHe EneMy?
