“Dear Google Cloud: Your Deprecation Policy is Killing You”

We use GC at work because some bits of it, like the App Engine, hit a sweet spot for us, but it really is a nonstop treadmill.

If I could go back in time, I’d go for Heroku or Azure instead

@baldur @manton It appears that micro.blog mangled that Medium link (interpreted the Medium username as a micro.blog one). This obviously should not be happening in the url of an anchor. I know this issue has come up before but I thought it was fixed. Maybe a new edge case?

@fgtech I’m amazed that Medium hasn’t fixed that. It broke for me in some other work too.

@zorn Yeah, it’s not really micro.blog’s fault. Medium’s use of the at symbol is not compliant with URI standards. You would think they would want people to be able to link to them easily because that means ad revenue!

@fgtech I'll look into fixing this. I know I have some similar checks to not auto-link usernames, but it must not cover these kind of URLs.
