  • I made this mistake too when I figured out I had ADHD. I had a shiny new hammer to fix all my problems with, and EVERYTHING was a nail. And I really liked showing off my shiny new hammer to explain why I was trying to hammer all these nails.

    People didn’t like it very much. I was being obnoxious. I know I was. I knew it at the time too, but still couldn’t stop myself.

    Our culture right now does not favor talking about mental health in any capacity, and I think part of that comes from shame for some people (“oh no, what if I’m similar and have it?”), and for other people its just a frustrating change in routine (“oh God am I going to have to listen to this every day from now on, and change how I do things to boot?”) - it becomes extra burden in their eyes.

    The trick is masking. It’s always masking. It sucks that we have to mask, but masking unfortunately works. Don’t talk about your issues, or if you do only do it once with any particular group of people.

    On the flipside, it’s still important to be yourself. Find a good group who you don’t have to wear the mask around and spend as much time with them as you can, so you can deal with the times you do.







  • The original copypasta displayed in this post is older than LLMs as we know them. Don’t be fooled by the timestamp.

    It is tradition to intentionally mix and misname similar characters from nerdy fandoms with the pure intention of pissing off people who take their favorite franchise too seriously - or at the very least make them squirm a little about it.


  • I’m not sure if i’m missing a joke here, so:

    In case you’re making a joke: The people who don’t type JSON are using controllers.

    In case you’re asking a serious question: the people who don’t type JSON are the people in OP’s image. They are technically using types, but that type is literally always string. They don’t use integers, they don’t use booleans. This is functional but may not be the best choice, depending on what kinds of data their system is supposed to handle.


  • JSON has types.

    Many API developers may choose not to use them, but they are absolutely there.

    You specify the type by including or excluding quotation marks, and then for the types without quotation marks, you either include or exclude a decimal point to specify float or integer, and for boolean you use characters (specifically true or false). Arrays are wrapped in [] and objects are wrapped in {}.

    JSON data as a whole is passed as one giant string because the REST protocol demands it. But once it’s been pulled in and properly interpreted, there are absolutely types in the data.
