If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

Got the stickers!
Thanks @dfox @trogus

Stackoverflow(ed)!!

Lucky to see this today.
Must say, the very next page refresh the site was up.

Don't know if it was really a maintenance or just an alternative message in some cases.

Had this been continued for some more time then many tasks' dev completion dates would have got affected. 😬

Very nice!

Doesn't know my name but has still found "jobs" for me 🙄

1. getSomeData(params, ((err, data) => {
2. if(!err && data) {
3. try {
4. data = JSON.parse(data);
5. } catch(e) {
6. return null;
7. }
8. return data.someParam;
9. }
10.}

Nothing like bad practice in above code but I always feel that the line 4 should be replaced by below.

4. var result = JSON.parse(data);

and then use result variable to get data one is looking for, like below

8. return result ? result.someParam : null;

Your thoughts?

He: Who wants distinction? I just need passing marks (35). Marks doesn't matter, knowledge does.
Me: Student who strives for more knowledge will surely get distinction.
He: 🤔
