As a JS/TS dev since the early node says I still can't believe how long we used the json stringify method for.

Not because it worked well, but because it was _good enough_. I feel like that in itself is an important lesson about our industry and probably the world.


It reminds me of using the STUFF() + FOR XML PATH trick in T-SQL (mssql) for so many years to aggregate row values into a comma separated string. Now you just call STRING_AGG()
