Your Life at Every Level of JavaScript (The Language That Never Says No)

Every JavaScript developer goes through the same six stages, and almost nobody notices what the language is doing to them along the way. JavaScript is the only language you didn't choose. It was written in ten days in 1995, named after an unrelated language for marketing reasons, and it now runs on nearly every screen on Earth. You didn't pick it — you inherited it. And because JavaScript accepts almost anything you give it, your entire career in it comes down to one number: how long it takes you to find out you were wrong. This video walks through all six levels of a JavaScript developer's life, from the first week where nothing can go wrong, through the tutorial-graduate stage where confidence outruns feedback, into the first real codebase, the moment the event loop and closures finally click, the senior job of deleting JavaScript rather than writing it, and finally the standards committee, where mistakes made in 1995 are still permanent. If you've ever stared at working code with no idea why it works, this one is about you.
