As someone who mostly avoids JavaScript, I don't see the IT in this image, I just see a bad language I avoid!

This isn't the languages fault, it's the developers.

Albeit true, I want to note that some languages encourage such practices way more than others do. Also, when you've got a hammer everything looks like a ~~string~~ nail.

In my mind a simple unit test should have caught this. Mock out the call to the service that sends the message and verify that it's been called with the correct message, and cover the possible failure scenarios. That said I hate loosely typed languages lol.

besides NaN actually being a number, this could completely and easily be avoided with typescript.

Naaah. Good programmers know how to use as any as any to make this work in typescript as well.

[-] Scoopta@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

I'm assuming by this you mean the developers of JS /s
