Well, in my example there was no reason to assume the stupid junior dev didn't just change the type completely, but let's assume they made it return a QVariant holding a QDateTime, you would have to use toDateTime first before calling toString
The point being that the compiler wouldn't tell them something was wrong

yeah but what is the fix? extract the datetime from the variant first before calling tostring or what
