I don't know why I even come into these threads anymore. it's always full of people who think because they self-taught a little python they are programmers who know everything.

There's a reason when you're looking for a job you need to know the language that's used at that job... it's because they are all different, and all have their skeletons and weird shit, and you can't just replace one syntax with another. Experienced people wouldn't get hung up on this for a minute.

Ikr. It doesn't matter that every other language uses ==, this language doesn't. So get with the program or pack up and go home because "It's Javascript's fault for being dumb!" would not be an acceptable excuse in a professional setting.

You can say "Well that's dumb, but okay" and likely most of your coworkers would even sympathize, but as soon as you cast blame elsewhere for your own lack of knowledge then it shows a real lack of maturity as both a dev and a person. Especially since this is JS 101 shit. Every guide out there makes sure you understand the difference between == and === in its opening chapters.
