Like r/programmerhumor, this community is already full of people who literally never programmed anything more than Hello World before.

I get this warning in my IDE (VS Code) so I feel safe:

The character U+037e “;” could be confused with the ASCII character U+003b “;”, which is more common in source code.

Laughs in just removing all semicolons because it’s not necessary in JS.

It is recommended. But in TS it is not necessary with rare exceptions.

Yes, true. I also did setup so that any missing semicolon will be added, because I got sick of not inserting them sometimes and then some code was without them and some was. (Before I tested just leaving them all out, out of fun, so I got into the habit of just leaving them out regularly)
