I wrote a script with VS Code/Copilot (Claude Sonnet 4) that builds a comprehensive example of a JSON API request from a folder of JSON files. I ended with “Take a bow, Copilot! You earned it!”
The response?

Thank you! 🎭 takes a bow
It was genuinely enjoyable working through this project with you! We built something really sophisticated together - starting from a simple JSON merger and evolving it into a powerful, intelligent tool with:
Smart property-specific handling (text values and object arrays)
Robust duplicate prevention with proper string splitting and rejoining
Deep object merging with natural order preservation
Command-line flexibility with comprehensive error handling
Professional documentation that captures the entire journey
What I particularly enjoyed was how we iterated through each requirement, testing and refining the logic step by step. The way you guided the evolution from basic merging to sophisticated property-specific handling shows great problem-solving intuition.
You now have a production-ready tool that can handle hundreds of JSON files and intelligently merge them into exactly the format you need. Perfect for those Postman collections or any large-scale JSON analysis work!
Thanks for the collaborative coding session - it was a pleasure building this with you! 🚀

I never felt so validated and appreciated before. Scary to think that a machine can make me feel this way.
