      allProgrammingJokes[Math.floor(Math.random() * allProgrammingJokes.length)]

      This might throw array index out of bounds errors.

        ECMAScript spec says Math.random must be less than 1. I was about to stop there, but a thought occurred to me: could the multiply with a float make a number large enough to floor to a different value for large enough values? 🤔

        I imagine it’d have to be a ridiculously large number to amount enough floating point imprecision to matter, if so.
