Like the art gallery in "Dead to Me" ?

More proof that most of the pretentious arseholes purchasing "art" don't know jacks***t about it in the first place.
I could throw some splashing of a dozen different shades of paint, spit toothpaste foam on it, and add some beer spray from a vigorously shaked-up can, may be head-bang a midget right where the toothpaste spit was, then add a squirrel's butt in a corner to symbolise peace and wellbeing, and then finally complete it by stroking a broad brush on everything a few times except the squirrel's arse.
I could sell the resultant "modern masterpiece" to some ostentatious rich prick if I could place it in the middle of an art gallery, and claim that it was created by some French artist with an unpronounceable name who is too busy nates to be in the art gallery himself.

Oh! Really, darling! That is sooooo 1990's. Damien Hirst was there years before you, and at least he took the time to saw the squirrel's butt in half.

I am reminded of a cartoon in the MAD Magazine, where a painter has painted a bunch of concentric circles, and is angry at the exhibitor for having hung it upside down. Just a bunch of concentric circles, where direction does not count.

Using a code example from the third party website, I've been testing an API endpoint call using RestClient. Mind you, this is their code example (much reduced):
string json = "[some JSON]";
request.AddJsonBody(json);
client.Execute(request)
This works fine in a WinForm and Console application, but I kept getting a "content formatting error" from their server when I tried the exact same code in my WCF Service Application running under IIS. According to their devs, the JSON was coming in as an escaped string. But as I said, this only happens when testing the same code in my WCF Service.
Ironically, the solution was to add an object, not a string, to AddJsonBody:
var config = new Config();
... do some setup stuff ...
request.AddJsonBody(config);
client.Execute(request);
Now that works great on WinForm, Console, and the WCF Service App.
So the question still remains, what is IIS/WCF doing, or is it RestClient, that is creating an escaped JSON string? Or is it some bug on the third-party's server when it receives the call from another "server"?
I have no idea, I'm not asking a programming question or looking for an answer, I just wanted to share this with you all so if you encounter something goofy like this in the future, this might help.

I seem to remember running into a similar issue but it was a long time ago.
IIRC (and I may well not), the problem was that WCF was auto-serialising behind the scenes so I was serialising as per normal, then it re-serialised my already serialised string, causing a whole load of extra escapes.

Poor little Johnny is bursting for the loo and asks his teacher if he can be excused from class:
"Miss! Miss! I really need the bathroom!"
"Oh come on Johnny, it's only a few minutes until the bell goes, surely you can wait."
"But I'm bursting, Miss! I really, really have to go!"
"Very well, I'll let you go providing you can recite the alphabet to me."
"Okay. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z"
"That's close, Johnny, but not quite right. There was a letter missing. Where's your "P?""
"It's running down my left leg thanks to you and your constant bloody delays!"

Though not in need of a job change, I just sent some feelers in the online world. One Recruiter contacted me about an opportunity which was good but said It involves some coding demonstration , which was fine with me. So he wanted to know what I need to do a coding so he can arrange it in his office. I mentioned that would prefer Keyboard (English and not German), mouse and big monitor along with internet connection.
He asked the purpose of Internet, and said need to Google the syntax or whatever. He replied saying googling for syntax or any reference is not acceptable for Engineer/Developers. Also Mentioned that the Company wont accept it as a legit test.
I directly approach the company after figuring out and I got the coding package with requirements and instructions. Interesting part is that I am allowed to do from home and use any resources like books, internet, opensource code etc. Only thing they had mentioned is that If I am using Code/Module from external source , I should cite its source.
The footer in the instruction has this quote 
"The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel" - Bjarne Stroustrup
cheers,
