    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

      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
