I love it when people think they have a simple solution to something, but gradually converge onto the complicated solution that they were trying to avoid. Like "why is this C++ sockets implementation 30k LOC....I could write that in 300 lines. Oh wait better add some error checking. Hm I wonder if I should test for endianness" etc etc. They should have security for this Airbnb thing for situations like this.
