And it’s driving our world economy into the ground.

I was disgusted by the XML at first, but it’s a readable query returning a sane JSON object.

Meanwhile, I’m mantaining Java code where the SQL is a perfectly square wall of text, and some insane mofo decided the way to read the resulting list of Object[] 🤮 is getting each column by index… so I’d switch to SQXMLL in a heartbeat.

Everytime I try to google anything that might be remotely related to a product every result will be a store.

I’d never have assumed that they just replaced my query but in hindsight it’s kinda obvious
