    I confess: I was up all night playing contraband police (I was stuck on a level and it was annoying me), playing some missionchief, and messing around with JavaScript and python.

    I don’t understand JavaScript and evidently chatgpt doesn’t either, because my attempt at modifying a chrome extension didn’t quite work. But I used it to create a python script to take a few dozen JSON files from a web scraper, de-duplicate them, and output it to a CSV file, which can then be imported to google sheets and bulk archived onto the Wayback machine

      I’ve always read JSON as Jason in my head. Now that I found out what it stands for, it could still be JaSON.

        The only people I’ve heard pronounce it drastically different from Jason are the tech elitist types. You probably know the ones. The arseholes that spend 13 hours a day on tech/programming forums and nitpick every single fucking thing anybody says

        I say it slightly differently from Jason, but barely noticeable. Jason is more like Jas’n, the O mostly vanishes. Similar to Melbourne, it’s not Mel-Born, but you still out yourself as a yank if you say Mel-ben or Mel-bin, because almost everybody from here gets rid of everything between the b and the n. It’s just Melb’n. JSON I pronounce with a more noticeable O. I do not say “Jay Ess Oh Enn”, or JavaScript Object Notation. It’s just Jason with a harder O
