@foone Unrelated, but you mentioned a "python wrapper" and I thought, "what, like a really long sock?"Sorry.

like today I wanted to write a script that recurses through some folders, finds files matching a regex, and upload them to a local service. easy! I can imagine the whole script in my head even before my fingers touch the keyboard

but the API wrapper is out of date so I'll have to modify that oh and it doesn't support local servers so I'll need to implement that and wait requests/urllib3/certifi/python's ssl module/python's _ssl module has a bug and can't parse my cert. I can hack around that, who cares. oh I need to supply a client certificate? no problem, that's in my OS's certificate store, I'll just export that... okay it's marked as non-exportable. so I have to hack it out

@foone Is this cleaning up other people's messes? Because now it is in your program and feels like your mess? Or is is more like adaptation?

oh godremember kids, when implementing a library that talks to a webserver, make sure to hardcode that URL in the source 27 times, just to make sure no one can easily use it against a local instance

@gloriouscow they don't even properly encode their URL parameters. if your login name has a single quote in it, it will completely break
