@robinsyl@meow.social @fallenhitokiri@social.screamingatmyscreen.com Even at Google, there are systems that are engineered as if they receive a million requests a second, when in fact they receive 10 requests an hour. It's a colossal waste of effort.

@hynek@mastodon.social someone made me review this because of my ranting about ISO 8601. It's not bad. It's not complete: but no one actually wants a complete parser for that awful trash standard.

@NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net ever since my first experience with the anti-abuse measures on slack (there aren't any: you have to escalate to admins) I stopped using it for any reason. I feel very validated, seeing this as well: They just don't understand abuse, human or robot.
