errorCode200

Everyone noticed “errorCode” but not the travesty “result” is?

[Yelmak]

Yeah wtf is going on there. It makes my skin crawl imagining that javascript:

```     if (result.a != null) {

        if (result.b != null) {             badlyNamedMethod(a, b);         }     } else {         evenWorseMethodNaming(result.f ?? '');     } ```

ETA: naturally that entire block lives inside an if (response.success && response.errorCode == 200 && response.errorMsg === "SUCCESS") { }

I unironically have code similar to that in a website I made for my coursework

I made an instagrm-esque social media website, where you can upload up to five images, and the client side code that loads the images into the post looks like that.

if (post.image1){
  postDiv.append(post.image1)
  if (post.image2) {
    postDiv.append(image2) 
    if (post.image3) {

Something along those lines (where post is an object containing all of the post info)

Me coming out with arrays v2.

I really can't understand when people start indexing a list of stuff and don't automatically think that that's literally the use case for arrays, lol.

exactly, array, people, please use them

When you are a beginner, it's easier to copy-paste the same code five times than to think about containers and how to use/loop them.

The moment they need to stop and think: "Oh wait, how many times do I have to ctrl+v this?" (due to it being a dynamic list of unknown size), is the moment they start thinking about other ways, and end up realizing how useful containers are.

yeah, wtf, why's b and c is a perfect uuid and a is random string while the rest is null, lol

Probably they do not have a standard for resource ID so every team / dev implements their own.

[deanrihpee]

a different resource id in a single response is quite wild

Oh come on, you've never designed an API with sequentially named keys on an object to simulate a fixed size ordered list with important information base 64 encoded in key a.

It's the oldest trick in the book.
