Programmers Brain

I had a bug in my code. Not even a bug. An edge case.

Not even my fault, actually. I made this project, to track the movies. It utilises TMDb API. In the API, the apostrophe symbol is just wrong. What should be a is ' . And it breaks my toml config file. The whole website crashes upon rendering.

I had a disturbed sleep, I was worried over the script, and I woke up with the heavy head, still thinking how should I fix that.

Turned out, simply substituting ' for solves the issue completely. And that’s just a couple of symbols with the help of sed, a program that exists for over 50 years.

sed "s/'/’/g"

Just wow. Needn’t to worry about that.
