Should this be added to github.com/kdeldycke/aw... ?

I scored 12/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

boop 👉👈

I fully expected a bang path question but forgot about it from laughing so hard

YAML has already had really good treatment, e.g. ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/t...

14/21. I need to work! One thing I really did know is that emails can have comments. It's obsolete but still....!

I learned a lot today by doing very badly on this quiz, and will probably forget most of it instantly. Very funny though 😂

This is absolutely infuriating and I never want to administer an email server ever again. Nice to know I’m average, though.

Definitely a drunk RFC

I hate this

Bee Movie!!!!

This feature of those services is the bane of my life. I think the threshold is like 30 days and I don't often think that far ahead.

This link should be in a comment above every email-validating regex.

11/21 and I was reading the questions out to @sbisson.com who was the CTO of an ISP long enough ago to have known better (totally nailed the IPv6 one!)

1. I viewed source and saw TypeScript, which is awesome 2. That's the most uncivilized attack on someone's self esteem I've seen in days. I love it

🥲

If I may, you should make clear it's about the syntax and not necessarily a proper mailbox. I tripped on the first one considering the domain as invalid as it's intended for documentation use and not an actual service

I scored 13/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Totally agree. I've been doing this a couple of decades. I remember the wild west of email and see how much it's changed for the better. Unfortunately, very few of the suggested regexes and validation libraries have...not.

By the end I started chosing against what seemed right and that worked better, much to my horror

This is my profession and: I scored 14/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Good morning to everyone except DOM tree parsers.

This was a funny quiz omg

The WWW was a mistake

That one is my favorite 😆

I once gave a lightning talk on the madness of email addresses, and a bunch of these still tripped me up

Doing these quizes feels a bit like reading Pratchett - it's all nice, makes sense, serious story until the luggage decides to get up and walk 😅

!!! Get back in touch you massive nerd. I still have some of your books.

To be fair, as far as RFC 5322 goes, if you bring your "quotes" or [square brackets] you can do whatever tf you want. It is a surprisingly relaxed spec.

Score of 10 because in the end i was just guessing "this bullshit wil probably also be valid" :D What a journey....

yay :)

My bad, I misremembered the specifics. It wasn't the email address:

Seems legit

I scored 17/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media. Some of it was pure "this is weird enough to be true kind luck". Also booked 💩@💩

Is that due to the obsolete rule that domains without dots are valid?

Loved it - but Zen not so sure. Reports: Error in parsing value for 'text-wrap'. Declaration dropped. main.css:411:14 Elements matching selector: .subsubtitle NodeList [ p.subsubtitle ]
