I spend fucking weeks planing how to crawl the reddit api as concurrent as possible, only to realiye that there is a ratelimit of 300 request per 600 seconds

FUCK, SHIT GODVERDOMME, VAFFANCULO, EAT SHIT, PENETRATE ME WITH A SWORDFISH, FMFL

API changed ratelimit from 500 to 20, so only when there were not that much signups a user could be allowed to the platform and buy a ticket.

I confess, I did a trolling today.

Kinda deployed staging in production today. Nothing happened, but the fact that it stayed there for an hour.

Why so long? Because gitlab would ratelimit the CI would and prevent it from executing for an hour straight and AWS was also a jockster by capping the download of the image to <1MB, so we couldn't even retag it
