I’ve been doing some shady shit with regex lately (parsing .md files for interactive TTRPG sheets), but I’m glad to have not been touching XML

🤮

I code using a telegraph machine in morse code.

The lower your orbit, the quicker your orbit decays due to atmospheric drag.

That’s the problem here though, that effect is lessening. So they’re gonna stay up their longer, potentially past the limits of what they can do to avoid collisions. That’s going to create problems for lower orbits.

Not exactly. If it goes into full blown Kessler syndrome, it will become everyone’s problem, including at the newly “freed up” lower orbits.

That, or he doesn’t understand composite keys.

That one is by far the worst to work with.

It gets worse. Half the site is MVC, half is blazor. We depend on mainframe connections and external vendors, who in turn have their own API, which we have a wrapper API for.

The entire grahql fusion schema got nuked about two months ago, and we’re still panicking to fix it.

And each of our environments are half environments, that mesh with one another to create a data integrity hellscape.

It’s turtles rot all the way down.

We’ve got 10 APIs, with a fraction of a percent of code coverage. None of the responses/requests/error messages/fetch services are standardized.

So unsurprisingly this project has been going on for 6 years.
