    Have you ever went to the utmost end of the earth tracking down a bug and it was something so STUPIDLY simple that it got overlooked?

    I just fixed my first wordpress bug / major crisis.

    I couldn't update my website at all, kept getting 'update failed' error msg.

    THEN, HOLD ON NOW YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS...

    after losing 2 full days of productivity I find out the FUCKING EMOJI in the TEXT was preventing the updates

    Everything works now. Tons of lost hours bug tracking and rewriting pages from scratch, copying, duplicating, fixing,

    and all I had to do was erase the emoji and now it works...

    • Btw, I am targeting the millenial demographic, that's why I use emojis for my stuff.cherub
    • LMAOLANG is the way to go.

    • If you are targeting the younger generation on social media, you can't deny the power of the emoji. Change my mind.cherub
    • emotes can fuck everything up spectacularly but the worst bugs are the ones you fix and have no idea how :Dkingsteven
    • just wrote a prototype of a twitch app that performs emotional analysis on twitch chat history to create edit markers for vods and very few emoji, mostlykingsteven
    • one of a few million possible shared twitch / bttv gifs but the emojis have got me a few times.kingsteven
    • One of the very few topics that truly frighten me in the design world is the topic of unicode, and I'm dreading someone start talking about it.cherub
    • So you're creating edit points to create a highlight reel of the live twitch streams? That's a cool app.cherub
    • Cool kingcanoe
    • yeah, it's a nice project. i'm working with a guy that manages youtube channels for streamers. it's just one part of a broadcaster/ live edit suite.kingsteven
    • it's nice to have a few reasonably big streamers on board. trying to keep it within twitch ToS which requires the broadcaster granting permissions to the app.kingsteven
    • "broadcaster / live suite" we do similar stuff then. I'm planning to switch to OBS for streaming. It's free, supposedly great for multistreaming.cherub
    • oh nice, yeah i really like OBS. a few of the apps I am building using my API are designed specifically to work as browser source in OBSkingsteven
    • at the root of it is a db system which extends the the functionality of the twitch API by using UTC for all metadata. vods, clips, thumbs, title/game changes.kingsteven
    • and allows you to add and retrieve custom metadata for example chat analysis or vod video/ audio analysis as JSON using the API.kingsteven
    • Not practical as an API because the queries can get expensive but perfect for driving web apps for a smaller group of paying broadcasters and editors.kingsteven
    • I hate emojis even more than vertical video.CyBrainX
    • ^so does most of QBN, why else would they be absent here? hmm...cherub
