Web devs: a mystery. I cut and paste a URL (.../can-you-hear-me-now) but twitter pulled a different post to actually link to and preview, even though in thread context view it is clear I pasted right url. The wrong url is one I haven’t shared recently and isn’t open on my device.

Thread where this happened (see replies). My candidate explanations: a) distributed caching error b) hash collision c) multiverse quantum weirdness d) Iranian hackers

There’s no reason to expect that even conscientious persons (with full powers of reason & adequate time to consider matters) will arrive at the same conception of “the good.” So why on earth do we imagine irresponsible idiots will manage this? (And yes, this is a subtweet.)

Figured it out. Either WP or the CDN is being aggressive in matching misspelled urls

Oh shit, this explains it... adding that extra m (which I must have done by accident) resolves to that other link... wtf?? Shouldn’t it 404? twitter.com/galtenberg/sta…
