Senior: I've been programming for a long time. I know JavaScript.

Me to myself: I've seen your code, it is shit.

Senior: (builds JSON with string concatination)

Me to myself: ...

What am I to do? The system is full of stuff like this, and minimal support from management to fix and rewrite.

    But what the hell? That isn't even JSON! JSON uses double quotes!

    @ScriptCoded it's still js land, so probably doesn't need to, JSON.parse

    @jesustricks the json format is way more strict than javascript.
    Double quotes needed, no trailing commas

    If you do code reviews, just don't accept garbage code. You can improve code over time and keep it clean only by doing strict reviews.

    @Codex404 yes my brain stopped working for a second.
    so either a very irrestrictive json parser or this shit doesn't even run, im starting to think the latter

    Fire him.

    Or barring that: rewrite a segment of his code in a tenth the lines. Some people just stop learning after awhile and need a literal kickstart to realize there are still things they don't know.

    "Senior" - 1 year experience, 14 years repetition. I cant be 100% sure from the screenshot that you're in JS land, but if you are show him JSON.stringify()
