   I have a friend who works for atlassian, who sells and support a bunch of development tools - stuff related to version control, project management etc.
   
   he's recently received complaints that bamboo, the version/build control tool, does not correctly parse emojis when used in the name of a git.
   
   not only did they use emoticons in the name of a code repository, they didn't immediately think ' hah, I guess not' when it failed to transfer, they (with no sense of shame) actually filed a bug report (turns out the cause was that MySQL doesn't support unicode characters by default).
   
   speaking of, Apple's SWIFT language is now allowing emoticons to be used in or as variable names.
   
   
   give us the tools to build anything and what do we do? fucking poop icons, that's what.

   lol, that's on a messageboard that exists almost solely for shitposting vs. what's supposed to be a functional programming language, but I'll petition git to add a black dick icon to their supported list anyway
