"I'm still not understanding why it's so hard to display the birthday date on the settings page. Why can't we get this done this quarter?"
Look, I'm sorry, we've been over this. It's the design of our back-end. First there's this thing called the Bingo service. See, Bingo knows everyone's name-o, so we get the user's ID out of there. And from Bingo, we can call Papaya and MBS (Magic Baby Service) to get that user ID and turn it into a user session token. We can validate those with LNMOP. And then once we have that we can finally pull the users info down from Raccoon.

- matiasfernandez 6y agoIt's all I could think of while reading the article. The spiraling-down into complexity and service names had me smiling all the way. The "we should have predicted this" in last paragraph sealed the deal. And the HN comments saying they should have known better and used ZingBing from the start had me rolling. "You think you know what it takes to tell the user it's their birthday?!"
