Senior software engineer programmer here. I have had to tell coworkers “don’t trust anything chat-gpt tells you about text encoding” after it made something up about text encoding.

ah but did you tell them in CP437 or something fancy (like any text encoding after 1996)? 🤨🤨🥹

Sadly all my best text encoding stories would make me identifiable to coworkers so I can’t share them here. Because there’s been some funny stuff over the years. Wait where did I go wrong that I have multiple text encoding stories?
That said I mostly just deal with normal stuff like UTF-8, UTF-16, Latin1, and ASCII.

You’ve got to make sure you’re not over-specializing. I’d recommend trying to roll your own time zone library next.
