Sometimes when I'm writing Javascript I want to throw up my hands and say "this is bullshit!"....

...but I can never remember what "this" refers to. 😭

Me today when @aspittel proposed the jokes tag

[Jamie Ferrugiaro]

Yes, please.

[John Paul Ada]

The GIF is making me laugh more than the jokes LOL

[Ryland G]

This joke doesn’t seem ready, you sure it’s not a prototype?

[Juneau Lim]

I'm crying...🤣

[Matt Graham]

:cries in arrow functions:

[Ananya Neogi]

Why did the developer had to quit her job?
Because she didn't get arrays. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[Florian Rand]

A good feeling about this I have.
(edited, less annoying gif)

[C.S. Rhymes]

Some jokes are all about context

[Marko Anastasov]

This is the first time I’ve wished to put a tag on a blacklist. 😕👨🏻‍🦳

I don’t follow any specific tags, just enjoy reading across all topics that people post.

[Ben Halpern]

If you follow a tag and then give it “negative weight” in your dashboard it will help hide this. We’ll have better blacklist tooling in the future

[Marko Anastasov]

Didn’t know that, thanks!

[Ben Halpern]

Yeah, for anyone else that's curious: If you go to dev.to/dashboard/following and give a tag a number like -100 for weight, it will virtually never show up in your feed. The mechanic of first following and then negative is weird and we'll eventually make it more intuitive and discoverable.

[Jennifer Bradford]

Can you call it z-index? Or is this a bad place for a css joke?

[Carlos Caballero]

Hahaha!!

Now ... I'm throw up my laptop! 😆😆

[Nicky Meuleman]

"this" is a triumph.

I'm making a note here, huge success.

[Michiel Hendriks]

Finally! This is the first tag I'm following.
