Walter White Screams at 'UEFI Bindings for JavaScript'

Description

A two-part meme. The top is a cropped white documentation/README header reading 'What this is' followed by 'UEFI Bindings for JavaScript'. Below it is the Breaking Bad still of Walter White (bald, glasses, pale green jacket over blue shirt) screaming in rage through the open window of a black SUV. The meme reacts with horror to the existence of JavaScript bindings for UEFI - letting the language of npm and 'undefined is not a function' run at pre-boot firmware level, the most privileged and fragile layer of a machine. It channels the 'JavaScript escapes containment' genre: first the browser, then the server, now your motherboard firmware

The boot process can now return undefined before an operating system has had a chance to disappoint you.

Irony? No! The worst programming language in history (yes, I am prejudiced and have no regrets) becomes the most popular one. This was bound to happen, because we live in a god's forsaken world!
