Reminds me of this: Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names
- Lmao
- Name input should exclusively be an infinitely sized canvas, got it.
  
  Falsehoods programmers believe about names:
  
  Names are representable using an n-dimensional infinite canvas. Nobody has a name requiring an (n+1)-dimensional representation.
- That's why you should store names as images
  
  Hello, I am 😘 😚 🫡. Nice to meet you
- One of my financial accounts wouldn't let me transfer money to another because my name wasn't exactly the same on that account.
- Alright alright but surely people’s names are diverse enough such that no million people share the same name.
  
  Who thinks that?
  
  There's about 5,000 people working at the organization I work at and there's loads of people who have the same name, first and last.
Christophe sounds cooler, anyway.
- Every substitute teacher I ever had called me Christophe thanks to the school district’s character limit.
  
  As a fellow Christophe, I too have seen this all my life.
  It's comical that so many companies and systems just decided "No one will ever have a name longer than 10 characters, right?"
- Cristopher
  Christophr
  Christofer
  
  So many options, so few letters
  
  Chrstphr as well
- This immediately made me think of Frozen. That's what having kids does to your brain.
You write Chris, and then they lock your account because they think you're fraudulent
"Fuckyou" is less than 10 characters.
- So is the poop emoji.
I also love when systems tell me my name is “invalid” because it has a character they don’t like.
Christofer
Try to rephrase it
~christ
- CHRI~1.TXT
  
  This guy FATs
Finger should work.
- Waltuh
