      JS is absolute chaos programming and I love that way too much. You can just feel all the caffeine ingested by the guy who had to pull long nights to ship JS within 10 days. That’s exactly the vibe I’m going for with my code.

      Writes custom parser in python to automate removing semicolons after braces. Figures out a preprocessing hook to execute it automatically from java compiler. Starts extending it for other things. Misses deadline. Extends it for more things. Gets fired. Ends up with a full python -> java compiler. Posts project on github. Gets made fun of.
