The result is ๐‘ฆโ€Š=โ€Šโ…Ÿโ‚“, right?

No e^x doesn't have a 'y' and so it also acts as a constant.

Oh, I was thinking of it as ๐‘ฆโ€‰= ๐‘’^๐‘ฅ^ or ๐‘ฅโ€‰= ln ๐‘ฆ, whose derivative in respect to ๐‘ฆ is ๐‘ฅโ€‰= 1/๐‘ฆ (for ๐‘ฆโ€‰> 0) or ๐‘ฆโ€‰= 1/๐‘ฅโ€‰(for ๐‘ฅ > 0). Your interpretation is that the ๐‘ฆ-axis is non-existent or named differently, which is why I'd prefer the joke to say d/d๐‘ก for less ambiguity, as @anothercatgirl suggested.

yayaya, or in other cases like multiple independent variables, I'm not sure because it's been 6 years since I took calculus

The general form would be implicit differentiation! d/dx dx/dy e^x = e^x dx/dy
