💸 Why JavaScript Billionaires Lack Common Sense (And Other Uncomfortable Truths)

JavaScript billionaires? Yeah, those tech moguls who built empires on the world's most versatile — and sometimes infuriating — language. But here’s the kicker: many of them seem to lack basic common sense. How? Let’s dig in.

1. They Bet On Everything JavaScript — Even When It Makes No Sense

"JavaScript everywhere!" they shout, pushing JS frameworks on servers, IoT, and even toasters.

Meanwhile, sometimes a simple Python script or Rust app would be just fine.

Common sense check? If it ain’t broke, don’t rewrite it in JS just because you can.

2. Overcomplicating With Frameworks

They launch new frameworks like they’re dropping mixtapes — dozens every year.

Each claims to solve all problems, yet half the time, users are stuck debugging spaghetti code.

“Our new JS framework will change the world!”

World replies: “Can it just run without errors first?”

3. Ignoring the User Experience for “Cool” Tech

Sometimes these billionaires get so excited about new JavaScript toys, they forget:

users want fast, stable apps, not fancy but buggy features.

Common sense would say: Prioritize stability > novelty. But nope, let’s ship that flashy animation first!

4. Trusting “The JavaScript Way” Blindly

JavaScript’s flexibility is both a blessing and a curse.

The billionaires often push the “JS way” — dynamic, loosely typed, asynchronous chaos — ignoring hard-earned software principles.

Common sense: Strong typing, clear structure, sane defaults.

JS billionaire: “Nah, let’s eval() it live!”

5. Money Talks, Sense Walks

Big bucks can blind you. When you’re rolling in millions, questioning your own decisions can be uncomfortable. So the cycle continues:

Push questionable tech
Attract hype
Rinse and repeat

Real-World Example: The “JS Fatigue” Epidemic

Millions of developers overwhelmed by constant churn in JS tools and frameworks — caused mostly by billionaire-driven hype.

This leads to burnout, frustration, and a whole lot of common sense lost in the shuffle.

Final Thoughts

JavaScript billionaires made their fortunes because they took risks, pushed boundaries, and innovated.

But common sense? Sometimes, it’s the first casualty.

Moral of the story: Being rich in JS and common sense are not the same thing.

So let’s learn from their wins — and their spectacular faceplants. 😎
