TIL about the greek question mark
Tell me, can you tell the difference between these two characters?

Like r/programmerhumor, this community is already full of people who literally never programmed anything more than Hello World before.
And just like Reddit you’re complaining about it for absolutely no reason. How about we try to be a bit more welcoming and a bit less gatekeepery.
That’s kind of an absurd position when the explicit purpose of segmented communities is to gatekeep content.
I realize my attitude is negative, but r/programmerhumor was not my crowd and it looks like neither is this community. There is no place where I can find memes about a large part of my life and I’m frustrated.
“Missing semicolon”, “light IDE is for psychopaths”, “JS sucks”, “AI is just if-statements”, I just can’t relate to those jokes and after the 100th repost I still don’t think they’re funny.
I’m curious, what would you prefer? Reposts suck, but dunking on the languages everyone agrees are bad and complaining about debugging is the only version of programmer humour I’m familiar with.
I found this blog article with some xkcd comics that I find hilarious, if that helps
XKCD is indeed awesome.

Just because a meme is not reality doesn’t mean it can’t be funny.
yea… every modern IDE makes it extremely obvious of the unicode character…
SO… yea…
If you really wanted to be evil, zero-width space is the worst.
You don’t see it.
I get this warning in my IDE (VS Code) so I feel safe:
The character U+037e “;” could be confused with the ASCII character U+003b “;”, which is more common in source code.
Well, there goes my diabolical plan, crushed like a bug under someone else’s shoe. Back to the drawing board, I guess.
Laughs in just removing all semicolons because it’s not necessary in JS.

(The аеос’s are the most evil ones)
I thought zero width whitespace characters were the ones to go for if you want to be evil.

Unicode was a mistake.
