    I like how this joke works for the supposed complexity of json-ld while the viper pit metaphor can also represent the bickering about it.

      What did I miss? JSON was great for if you just needed to send stuff back and forth between programs but didn’t need the complexity or overhead of XML, so they went and added the complexity and overhead of XML into JSON?

      Brain: “well at least it probably has comments for using it like a config file.”
      Facts: it does not.

      EDIT: Upon further reading this won’t ever affect me.
