Wow, this is such an important point by @dfwclayton I had not idea of: The "machine readable zone" on passports only has 2 digits reserved for the birth year! So any app that scans passports will only have those 2 digits. This is no easy fix... x.com/dfwclayton/sta…

I find this to be a useful application of LLMs. (See, I can say nice things.)
@GergelyOrosz It’s a small % of total data but very impactful on a single flight/passenger level
@GergelyOrosz Not to mention you will still see a lot of garbage data since DOB is self reported and comes from lots of 3rd party systems (lap infant’s bday in the adult’s bday field, booking date as DOB, 01JAN01 AS DOB…)
@GergelyOrosz ...and we're having to block them today. Users complaining about essentially being DDoSed by their bot. Very surprised that such a capable and well-funded company didn't realise upfront that aggressively spidering sites will upset people.
@GergelyOrosz Sabre, one of the four GDS in the airline industries is actually a spinoff from American Airlines. And their first system went online in 1960. Meaning that most of the architecture and definitions were done closer to the first Wright Brothers flight, than to today…
@GergelyOrosz Before you can do that: the Machine Readable Zone on passports and IDs only contains a 2-digit year. So start by lobbying ICAO to change that standard, then wait at least 10 years for all valid passports to expire. THEN you can start requiring a 4 digit year in airline systems
@GergelyOrosz This almost feels like a delayed-fuse Y2K issue.
@GergelyOrosz Also an example of “how expensive is this to fix? oh, that many millions?”
@GergelyOrosz Agreed. Though it probably requires a massive patching / rewrite effort of not only AA systems but the travel integration, ticketing, and booking systems of the big three GDSs. Hell, some of that code is still *mainframe* based
I’ll bet it’s stored as a two digit char in COBOL 😖🤦♂️
American Airlines unwilling to fix their booking system to accommodate passengers aged 100 or more is an example of “what % of people does this bug affect? Oh, below 0.05% so it’s low priority.” But it’s a damn important sub-0.05%: people who need assistance but don’t get it:

Excited to join LEGO Board of Directors with @ebiatawodi! My dream is that one day Supercell will be a similar iconic company whose products everyone loves. So this is an opportunity for me to learn from the best! :-) lego.com/fi-fi/aboutus/…
XBox 360 won the console wars during its generation but multiple missteps during XBox One from betting on Kinect to abandoning gamers created an opening for Sony PlayStation which Microsoft’s XBox hasn’t ever recovered from. kotaku.com/xbox-ps5-sales…
When I first came to SF, I was 19, and the cult of the overworked tech employee was in full swing. People slept under their desks. Companies put shit like "don't come work here unless you're prepared to make this job your life" in their hiring ads. People read that and applied!
These are hard, complicated topics, and there are some very good reasons for speaking carefully. People can pick up a sentence and run in the wrong direction with it, and do a lot of damage. I have abandoned god only knows how many drafts on this topic, for that reason.
In 2023 we saw several rounds of quality conversation around engineering productivity, thanks to McKinsey, @GergelyOrosz and @KentBeck and others. It moved the industry forwards. 🙌 But it also felt fairly inside baseball to me. Deeply technical, lots of metrics.
When I joined Google, people used to spend time evaluating ideas and prototyping not for the sake of not working but not to jump on a low impact idea and burn millions of dollars. When I was leaving, company's attention was split in a million paper cuts, and new hires couldn't…
It’s always amusing to see people, who were senior enough at companies, blithely opine about why the company’s culture went down the toilet, as if their own actions of several years didn’t contribute to the problem. Reminds me of this analysis of Steve Jobs of Apple engineers
@GergelyOrosz Agreed. Reddit Singularity subforum has been quite busy with this the past two days. Some good tips in there too. reddit.com/r/singularity/…
@GergelyOrosz We've already had to block some particularly aggressive AI spiders at PythonAnywhere. No issues with Claude yet, but we'll see.
@GergelyOrosz robots.txt is like a polite request to bots, but they're not always so polite! And yes, server-level security is the real bouncer at the club. With data hungry AI there will be less respect for it in future.
