Meme transcription:

Panel 1: Bilbo Baggins ponders, “After all… why should I care about the difference between int and String?

Panel 2: Bilbo Baggins is revealed to be an API developer. He continues, “JSON is always String, anyways…”

    Once we had a “sr developer” join a project from a consulting group. The project wasn’t going well so me and another dev started helping with some tasks as well.

    After a couple days of helping, trying to get his web application to work with data from an API he turns to us and says “oh, json is just a string.”

    The other developer from our team stared at him for a few seconds, stood up, walked out of the room and told the project manager something along the lines of “if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”

    So yeah, json is just a string… But if that’s the end of your knowledge you’re in for a bad day.

      “if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”

      You can’t just leave a story like that lol, did “sr dev” come back into the building? Did the other dev follow through on his threat? So many questions

        Ha yeah “Sr dev” was never seen again, the team member stuck around for quite a few more years.
