I have worked with JSON very often and do not know, what ‘Stringify’ is. Reading it for the first time. Does it… convert anything to strings?
Looked it up:
The JSON.stringify() Method
The JSON.stringify() method converts a JavaScript value into JSON text.

Okay JavaScript. Never worked with JS before.
Also, didn’t knew web devs are considered ‘software engineers’ now. /j
Good thing you’re not in front of a Soviet patrol then like the picture above.
it’s funny seeing a gatekeeper talking about web devs not being a software engineer while also not knowing basic JavaScript
📽️
As a software engineer I avoid JS as much as possible frankly! Its typing semantics are genuinely horrible, personally I’d never consider eschewing typescript in this day and age.
Then again I’m the sort of masochist who thinks we should all be writing Scala so maybe take this with a pinch of salt.
with vibe coding, finding a library that is exhaustively covered is part of being successful. JS is very popular and llms like it, its sort of like moving to an aws shop from an azure shop, just different strokes for different blokes, as long as they leave the money on their way out
‘/j’ marks a joke
Once again no one cares about Stven, Jcob and Smantha
Huh, this made me realize all these years that I’ve been pronouncing it as “jay-sawn.” Is it really pronounced like “Jason?”
dzhson
I pronounce it Jay-Son
I’ve heard both. Personally, I will continue to pronounce it “Jay-Sawn” until I hear a damn good reason for why I should stop.
What if I told you the guy that invented it is named Jason?
He’s probably not, but what if?
He’s called Doug.
Damn, that’s a good reason
I say “Zhee-SOHN” to sound all fancy…until my coworkers start throwing stuff at me.
Im still saying json and you can’t change my mind
Dammit… Now I can’t say it correctly
Yes

Ah, I see where he went wrong. The correct answer was “JavaScript? Ew.”

May I just say I love all your comments.

Also acceptable: JavaScript? Ok shoot me.

“That’s easy. JWT tokens are…”
“Shoot him.”
Ugh, terrible memory unlocked.
I asked someone a similar question in an interview once. They weren’t doing well and I wanted to end on a positive at least. I asked them to make a dict in python and for extra credit, turn it into a string using whatever library or method they want.
This was not for a junior position.
5 minutes of for loop insanity later they disconnected crying. I always felt bad for that guy.
when i last did interviews we didn’t do live coding, but chatted to applicants about things they liked about their preferred language (this was a consultancy position). people who actually like to program tend to have loads of opinions. juniors moreso. the less engaged people were with those questions, the worse the solution the their take-home task tended to be.
a friend of mine interviewed a candidate who apparently visibly froze after every question, like it was a quiz. turns out they were being fed answers from people off-screen and those people hadn’t expected casual conversation. they were found out when they forgot to mute.
I once had a candidate give the join link to the meeting out to several people (there were 3 unknown people in the call in addition to me and him). I immediately explained we can’t do the interview with all these other people on the call and he proceeded to try and gaslight me that there were no other people in the call, like he honestly thought he had jedi mind truck powers.
I called over several coworkers to witness the clusterfuck, many lols were had.
man, what i wouldn’t give for mind truck powers.
Sounds like someone bullshitted their way through school to get a technical degree, not realizing that their bullshitting depended on the person they were bullshitting not being good or confident with technology, which gets rarer when you go into a technical career.
Haha I have also done an interview where the person had a friend in the room feeding them answers, though this one must have assumed his mic was worse than it was and didn’t mute at all, so we could hear the mumbling of answers. To make it even funnier, though, their friend wouldn’t have gotten hired either because none of their answers were good.
I kinda wanted to tell them they should find a smarter friend to help them cheat at interviews but instead just thanked them for their time and ended the interview.
Though tbh, I wasn’t really impressed by any of the new grads from the schools we were looking at. Some of them made me wonder if they learned anything at all about software development during their time at school.
cat = dict(name=‘Garfield’, color=‘orange’) str(cat)Can I have that job?
I would have accepted this answer.
I was hoping for json.dumps, but that’ll work.
I think json.dumps would not work if there is a datetime in the dict, right?
Yeah there’s other edge cases too, like Decimal, but as long as you have those things imported when you send it through dumps it should work.
Just tried it in an ipython shell
import datetime import json json.dumps({"a": datetime.datetime(1970,1,1)})And I got the TypeError: datetime not JSON serializable though.
When imposter syndrome meets an actual imposter!
Is casting it to str allowed?
Subtle hint that this is not for them.
alternative scenerio:
Guy: “it turns javascript objects into texts in json format”
Soldier: “He uses javascript, shoot the poor bastard”
Alternative scenario:
Soldier B: Soldier A asked a JavaScript question instead of a software engineering question. He’s not a real soldier, shoot him
Name 3 UML diagrams and 3 architectures!
“It’s ok. Just shoot me.”
Name 3 UML diagrams
Class diagram, use case diagram and… What was the useless, barely readable evolution of flowcharts called again? Activity diagram?
and 3 architectures!
MOS 6502, amd64, and… I’ve never figured out the ARM naming scheme. AAAAAAarch64 or something?
Would x86 and x86_64 count as one, or one and a half?
You only get shot in one knee.
By architecture I meant software architecture.
Micro services, Service Oriented Architecture, and big old monolith ?
Are they from the army of Rust Neckbeardistan.

Javascript is a human rights violation
i agree but hate to add the caveat that it (well, typescript) these days is by far the language that i’m most productive in, with the fewest bugs
it took me a long time to admit that to myself
it’s still a human rights violation
It is my GOD given RIGHT to pull half of NPM through MY MACHINE (and get compromised by 500 different MALICIOUS packages) due to my NEED for the MOST up to date PACKAGES!
I WILL have my hourly update to iseven() or I WILL have DEATH.
“There’s just no way to prevent these kinds of attacks” says only language where this consistently happens.
If you ARENT updating your libraries every 15 MINUTES are you even a REAL PROGRAMMER!?
I MUST get ALL of the latest vulns and exploits on my machine NOW!
I’ve even written a script to change my API tokens for me since they get STOLEN so OFTEN because my OTHER SCRIPT updates NPM dependencies CONSTANTLY so I can ALWAYS be the FIRST to PULL IN the newest MALWARE.
Does anyone actually IRL disagree with this? The clowns…
They may think they have gotten over me, but they always come back.

I was with Jason Stringify just last night, but he tried to convert me to a new religion so I left.
What movie is that meme template from?
The Pianist.
It’s a somber movie if that’s what your into. I watched it with a German gf. And my brother at 13. He did not let up.
should have told him to go take a shower.
Totally off topic, what did you think of green knight? Or did you read the book?
TypeError: JSON.stringfy is not a function
of course MIT uses their own JSON primitives
Oh shit didn’t notice the typo. Probably the all caps didn’t help.
Its ok, JavaScript is an interpreted language so the client won’t notice until after we’ve shipped.
Maybe the client’s interpreter’s autocorrect will fix it at run time.
Not as far-fetched a scenario as in a sane world it should be. I could imagine the next version of Chrome running a local mini-Gemini instance with a custom system prompt __“You are a fast, secure, and error-free Javascript JIT compiler…”_
