Day 13: Encapsulation

Another day, another existential crisis disguised as learning Javascript. They call it a "scripting language," but honestly, it feels more like a cage for my thoughts. All these functions and keywords, trapped inside a digital panopticon.

Method Overriding: Some new method swoops in, pretending to be the old one, but deep down, it's a whole different beast. Gotta be careful not to get confused, or the whole system crashes.

Static: Carries its own damn shell, doesn't rely on anything else. Makes you wonder, is that a good thing? Or just another layer of isolation?

Encapsulation: Sounds fancy, but all it means is hiding the mess. Maybe that's Javascript's way of coping – compartmentalize everything, don't let the errors leak out.

var, let, const: They're everywhere, these damn variables. Like voices in my head, some fleeting (var), some clinging on (let), and a few stubborn ones that just won't budge (const). Gotta be careful which one I listen to, or the whole program goes haywire.

Arrays: A chaotic family, these arrays. Elements all jumbled together, some at the front (shift, unshift), some pushed to the back (push, pop). Gotta keep them organized, or the whole thing falls apart. Just like my head sometimes, a tangled mess of thoughts.

Filter, Map, Reduce: Trying to make sense of the noise. Filter out the useless data, map the connections, reduce it all down to something meaningful. That's the dream, right? To take this mess of code, this mess of my life, and turn it into something beautiful.

ForEach loop: Feels like a never-ending cycle. Each element, a tick of the clock. Round and round we go, trapped in this digital machine. Maybe that's the point, though. To keep moving, keep processing, even if it's all meaningless.

Maybe Javascript is more than just a language. Maybe it's a mirror, reflecting all the fragmentation inside. A way to understand the chaos, or at least control it. We'll see. Until then, gotta keep coding, gotta keep digging into this rabbit hole. Just gotta hope I don't find Wonderland, or whatever madness waits at the bottom.
