parsing Memes

JavaScript's type conversion is like that friend who's confident but wrong about everything. Empty string? That's clearly 0! "07foo"? Obviously 7! And my personal favorite: a tiny decimal like 0.0000005 somehow becomes 5, because who needs those pesky zeros anyway? The best part is how parseInt() and Number() can't even agree with each other. One sees scientific notation, the other just sees numbers to ignore. It's like watching two drunk mathematicians argue about how to split the bill. This is why JavaScript developers drink.

Content Twotypes of people in Standup Yesterday I fixed an issue that occurred when parsing the JSON object received from fronted, I added the missing keys and created unit tests that cover all scenarios. I enhanced the performance as well by adding some missing joins to the SQL query which reduced the overall loading time of the endpoint. I tested the code on staging and everything was working fine so by the end of the day I deployed to production. Fixedan issue nasser. junior
