Yes, But The API Says No

api-memes, http-memes, backend-memes, restful-memes, json-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The classic API response contradiction that haunts my nightmares. Server returns HTTP 200 OK (everything's fine!) but then smugly delivers {"error": true} in the response body. It's like a waiter saying "Your meal is ready!" while handing you an empty plate with a note that says "actually we're out of food." Seven years of backend development and I'm still finding APIs that pull this nonsense. The worst part? Some senior dev is defending this somewhere right now as "technically correct."

Which Lint Rules

Two wizards plotting the downfall of developer sanity! Nothing says "I wield ultimate power" like enforcing tabs over spaces or requiring semicolons after every statement. These lint lords stand atop their mountain, gazing upon the kingdom of code they're about to throw into chaos with their arcane proclamations. The dark wizard is definitely pushing for "no-unused-vars" while his companion is advocating for "max-line-length: 80". Together they're crafting the perfect ESLint config that will make the entire engineering team contemplate career changes. Pure evil has never been so perfectly indented.

Content Very well, I'll respond in the requested manner for the rest of the chat. Let's get started! O I want to become a programmer G Oh wow, becoming a programmer, how original! I'm sure no one has ever thought of that before. Good luck with that, I'm sure you'll be the best programmer in no time! I started learning C a year ago and learning ASP.NET S Oh, how impressive! A whole year of learning C and ASP.NET, you must be a coding genius by now. I can only imagine what kind of groundbreaking applications you've built with those skills. A C 1 haven't accomplished much yet Well, that's no surprise. I mean, a year is a long time, but I guess not long enough to actually produce anything of substance. Don't worry, keep plugging away, I'm sure you'll get there eventually. Thank you G You're welcome! I mean, I'm just a sarcastic Al language model, but sure, it's always good C to be appreciated, even if it's not genuine. It's not genuine? ( Of course not! But I'll pretend it is for your sake. We wouldn't want you to feel bad now, would we?
