703 Pointsjsonlint.com throwing an error
My code when entered to jsonlint.com is as follows:
[ { “name”: “Jim”, “inoffice”: false }, { “name”: “Pam”, “inoffice”: true } ]
The code in the lesson used in jsonlin.com is as follows:
[ { “name”: “Aimee”, “inoffice”: false }, { “name”: “Amit”, “inoffice”: true }, { “name”: “Ben”, “inoffice”: true } ]
Both of these examples throw an error on jsonlint.com
Is the lesson out of date or is jsonlint.com incorrect?
If the former, when will the lesson be updated? If the later is jsonlint an unreliable tool?
Or am I completely missing something?

The quote marks aren't valid characters. It's a subtle difference, but what you've posted is “ rather than " quotes.
The following validates for me:
[{
"name": "Jim",
"inoffice": false
}, {
"name": "Pam",
"inoffice": true
}]
