A coworker of mine thought the same. Parsed the string into an int - we saw a bunch of cards get declined by our gateway processing company. They definitely can have leading zeroes.

So, after dropping $3,000+ in the Apple ecosystem, another $20 must be spent to get two Apple devices to communicate. But Microsoft and Google aren't as user friendly somehow?

I would look at your scaling. When I saw this post on Medium, I didn't really notice the gif-ness. On bitmatica.com it looks like everything is scaled & blurred - which makes everything look out of focus.
