If anyone didn’t notice, everything on this page is a link.

This literally saved me from clicking away with a sensible chuckle. There goes my evening.

I was surprised by how many of these I already knew but also horrified at some of the things I have now read about

The Japanese Postal CSV seems truly cursed

As someone who professionally writes code that has to ingest mail carrier invoices/other CSVs, this is probably the worst I’ve seen, but some of the files I’ve dealt with were … let’s say comparably frustrating.
Mostly it’s because mail carriers tend to write these files for humans/accountants to read and audit, so they’ll pull shit like putting in a whole differently-formatted chart above the actual CSV formatted table, or sending us password-protected, encrypted XSLX files that we need a human to decrypt using Excel before we can ingest it with our data tools.
Leave it to Japan to take it to the extreme by making their software in a fully bespoke way.

Having some of them as Twitter-links was not that good of an idea…
And it has that awesome xerox scanner bug found by David Kriesel! 😂
I watch his talk (german) like once or twice a year, because it is that funny!

I didn’t see the magic switch tho I may have overlooked it.

This always makes me so happy to read. I’m glad technology can still have some whimsy to it, even though the story is dated.

“Middle of the iceberg” layer.

So much cool stuff in there

You know it’s very weird when you see that brainfuck is ‘above the iceberg’

Oh it hurts how many of these are recognizable.
