Ah, the classic "security through visual confusion" approach! This developer is replacing commas with Unicode character U+201A (single low-9 quotation mark) which looks nearly identical but won't trigger Airtable's delimiter parsing.
The best part is the function name safeComma
- as if this hack deserves the word "safe" anywhere near it. It's like putting a fake mustache on your data and calling it "military-grade encryption."
This is the programming equivalent of writing "Not a Drug Deal" on your suspicious briefcase. Sure, it technically works, but someday, somewhere, a developer will inherit this code and question all their life choices.
