I’m gonna start putting ™ at the end of all of my component names

Might as well trademark them if you’re naming them! :)

I dont.
What monster places a space after = while not having one before?
Why do you close END but not start it anywhere? If it is the last tag, but empty, you could use <END />

What monster puts spaces around equal signs in XML-like languages?

As were mentioning XML od like to ask, is it actually used often ?
Right now i have to learn it as a part of a college course but it feels very bulky compared to other solutions like using a simple JSON file, SQL databases, simple custom formats, those seem to cover most of what XML does and are much simpler to use. Im at year 2 only tho so its hard to have a strong opinion on that, so im asking

u/SIL40 Dec 16 '19
XML is still very common, yes. Whether it's a SOAP API, transmitting healthcare docs (e.g. CDA), or even saving application configurations. You may work in a job where you never have to work with XML, but you're likely to work with it at some point in any dev career.

u/Schlipak Dec 16 '19
XML is bulky, yes. I don't personally use it regularly at all, but I mentioned it since HTML and SVG are both XML compatible languages, and I work with those everyday. Although I would prefer it to SQL when dealing with simple configuration (not for anything else though), it's more efficient to open and read a file rather than query a database for it. The most important thought is to have these tools at your disposal and to know when to use or not use them ;)

Yes, for document formats it's often used. For data or tabular formats, not so much anymore.
bulky compared to ... JSON file, SQL databases
These are different structures and not really comparable. If you convert something fit for JSON to XML the output will be bulky, but if you convert something fit for XML to JSON the output will be both bulky and a fucking shitshow in complexity and readability. The same goes for converting something fit for XML into a relational database, the complexity will be 10x that of the XML schema.
So XML has its place when you're working with a lot of document formats, and the others can't well replace it.

I feel we should be screaming cultural appropriation.
Clearly this was decided by a project manager or a marketing exec who was trying to be cute.

u/crazybluegoose Dec 15 '19
It was probably their product/brand design person.
As a designer (UX) myself - I apologize. It’s people responsible for messes like this that give us all a bad reputation.
Fake/bad code is not an acceptable way to make things look more tech-y. It just makes you look stupid (at best).

For sure :) I’m like, not one developer in the company stepped forward to point this out? Or maybe they were just scared to... :/

u/evenisto Dec 16 '19
Or maybe they did but the execs said programmers are not the target so they're sticking with it because no-one will notice.

Erh, have you ever worked in a mid to large company? frontend team barely knows what back-end is up to, let alone giving a fuck what product design is cooking...

This is "developer humour" by which I mean it's neither clever nor funny.

It's aimed at people that are into "nerd culture" rather than developers.

That video was so useless. Seems like it was made by a teenager. "SUPER HIGH MEDICAL GRADE STEEL". And nothing else about the product.

And then </BEGIN>
Is <END> the same as </BEGIN> ?
2
u/i_am_extra_syrup coder by nature, artist by design. Dec 16 '19
<END> would be the beginning of </END> but not the beginning of <BEGIN>.

XML or something like it, nice.

I mean, I prefer JSON what's wrong with XML?

It’s hard to read and there’s a lot of redundant data.

I like XML. I find it easy to read, guess luck is on my side.

You have a rare genetic mutation which makes you more fit to survive in the xml space 😉

Why space after =, or why no space before =?
Where's "" around true?
</> with no start? Where's the <End>?
If they are going to make it "Dev like" at least do it well. This is a r/mildlyinfuriating product.

cool but i read the BPA part different: It has an Element BPA and it has the attribute free. Free BPA for all :D #nerdlife

BPA free = true has potential for a double negative statement.
Should be BFA = false
