What if your customer is the artist formerly known as Prince or even X Æ A-12 Musk?
- chungy 2y agoPrince: "Get over yourself and just use your given name." (Shockingly, his given name actually is Prince; I first thought it was only a stage name) Musk: Tell Elon to get over his narcissism enough to not use his children as his own vanity projects. This isn't just an Elon problem, many people treat children as vanity projects to fuel their own narcissism. That's not what children are for. Give him a proper name. (and then proceed to enter "X Æ A-12" into your database, it's just text...)
- jandrese 2y agoSure it is just text, but the context is someone who wrote a isValidHumanName() function.
