At work today I met an api that redefines http status codes to mean something else. Naturally this makes integrating between systems a whole thing when system a keeps spitting out 207 and system b will not accept anything other than 200. Thanks for nothing. WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER WANT TO DO THAT THO? there's just no good reason to.

Anyway hens how r yous?, hope you're all doing well and that your coffee is as strong and black as the void <3

    Reminds me the time we had to migrate a system from some old crusty tech that had a reeeal weird way to represent time and date. Turns out they worked that into the code and if you plugged a normal format time and date everything broke down in unsuspected places.

    @bytewind why are people like this? 😒 I'm not mad, just disappointed, tired and ready for retirement.

    @Elyz because we're not robots and just like we have different speech patterns we have different coding patterns. Imagine you were a wizard and your words changed the world. Programmers are just like that: when you look at code you are decoding a spell and inevitably just like natural language, code offers many paths to the same conclusion.
