      /serious Well, yes, most APIs are meant for system-to-system interaction, that’s kind of a given. But since this particular API is clearly meant for human-to-system interaction, returning a human-readable response is adequate. Yes, a better design would probably allow the client to specify additional parameters about the desired response.

      /back-to-jokes Yeah, well this kind of sums up most of my job applications. I send an application and the recruiting people are all like “OK”.

      That’s hilarious. Probably the lovechild of some clueless HR dude that thought he was a genius.

          Also “rockstar developer” all they were missing is “10x Programmer” to complete the bullshit programmer labels trifecta

        Hey, that’s me! I query my workforce data from the HRIS with M and SQL. In HR land, that makes me a super senior data scientist compared to VLOOKUP guy who hasn’t even heard of XLOOKUP or even INDEX/MATCH, that asshole.

      That’s better than some I’ve seen. Like 200 for everything and the text could even be “error”.

      Or 500 with the text “invalid input”

      I also notice that the job you apply for seems to be a different value than what is displayed on the page. Seems like the documentation needs updating as well 😔
