Meme transcription:
Panel 1: Bilbo Baggins ponders, “After all… why should I care about the difference between int and String?
Panel 2: Bilbo Baggins is revealed to be an API developer. He continues, “JSON is always String, anyways…”
All of us fintech devs however, know the true horrors. Make everything a string, lest ye end up in precision hell
Just reminded me of an argument trying to explain that arithmetic with floating point numbers is not always correct to a coworker who was a mathematician just starting in software dev.
In a mathematicians mind the fact that an arithmetic operation can produce inaccurate result is just incomprehensible
Lovecraftian horror for mathematicians. Immediately goes insane.
