This isn’t even an issue of middle ware sometimes. It’s just… Knowing the DB. And I rather not spend time learning when you can just make docs

This was a really funny scroll up. Thanks op

He has found the precious… Braincell

As if I had a choice. Most of the time I’m only on the receiving end, not the sending end. I can’t just magically use something else when that something else doesn’t exist.

Heck, even when I’m on the sending end, I’d use JSON. Just not bullshit ones. It’s not complicated to only have static types, or having discriminant fields

The schema is this SQL statement

If a item can have different type, those label fields are actually quite useful. So I don’t see the problem

You guys have docs?

Sadly it doesn’t fix the bad documentation problem. I often don’t care that a field is special and either give a string or number. This is fine.

What is not fine, and which should sentence you to eternal punishment, is to not clearly document it.

Don’t you love when you publish a crate, have tested it on thousands of returned objects, only for the first issue be “field is sometimes null/other type?”. You really start questioning everything about the API, and sometimes you’d rather parse it as serde::Value and call it a day.

To whoever does that, I hope that there is a special place in hell where they force you to do type safe API bindings for a JSON API, and every time you use the wrong type for a value, they cave your skull in.

Sincerely, a frustrated Rust dev

Idk about the article but the image is nice

This one isn’t even an XKCD. This is just a shitpost

Edit: I meant that it doesn’t have the XKCD vibe. Not that it isn’t an XKCD.

Usually, XKCDs are extremely nerdy and touch scientific subjects. But here, the joke is something I’d see in the local meme community.

And what is it about?

Nah. They are supposed to not care about stuff and just roll with it without any regrets.

It’s just like the wojak crying with the mask on, but not crying behind it.

There’s plenty of cases of memes where the giga chad is just plainly wrong, but they just don’t care. But it’s not supposed to be in a troll way. The giga chad applies what it believes in. If you want a troll, there’s troll face, who speak with the confidence of a giga chad, but know he is bullshiting

My attempt to explain was squashed by this comment

I do push often as I’m often switching between two devices. And I do make draft PR so I got an easy git diff that I can live reference with

Virgin toddler squasher Vs chad adult compressor

I often do the same for my memes. I like them high quality

NGL I 'm a bit like that. I often do “work” commits so that my working tree is a bit more clean/I can go from working state to working state easily.

But before a PR, I always squash it, and most times it’s just a single commit
