  • #JSON
  • Git has fundamentally changed the author's development life since 2010, offering a local-first approach but with challenges like file locking and scrubbing secrets.
  • Markdown became the de-facto standard for documentation, despite its quirks in syntax and the author's personal issues with its creator.
  • JSON is widely used for data files in games, though its strict syntax (no trailing commas, quoted keys) is frustrating, leading the author to write a custom parser.
  • The discussion includes critiques of Markdown's emphasis notation origins and JSON's limitations, with mentions of alternatives like YAML and reStructuredText.
