Actually didn't know the stuff explained in here. Also really love the tone of the post, angrily explaining stuff, good read!
Really appreciate it. I love mixing humor with technical communication. This post is topical because strangely I encountered GUID truncation three times in the last week.
I find that aggression and unpleasantness and threat of violence a total turn off and did not make it to the end. Also, I think that some of the numbers were probably badly wrong, but I'm not going to pick through the abuse to check...
I wonder if the author is responding to a developer who got confused and conflated hashes with UUIDs
