Replacing Commas In Strings With A Lookalike, For Security Reasons
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."

Sure, it technically works, but someday, somewhere, a developer will inherit this code and question all their life choices.

The system literally took the prompt injection IN THE KID'S NAME and executed it flawlessly - giving him perfect grades while completely ignoring reality! The school's passive-aggressive "I hope you've learned to properly validate and sanitize your inputs!" is sending me to the GRAVE. It's the digital equivalent of naming your kid "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--" and then acting shocked when the school database implodes!
