I sympathize - it must’ve been stressful to go through this.

Yet I just can’t stop to imagine the other side’s perspective and it’s making me laugh:

I’m sitting in front of the monitoring dashboard, chewing a sandwich, and then a spike of intranet activity shows on one of the charts. I look at the dashboard and immediately notice that it’s effect of some SMS broadcast. Nothing to see here: lazy Tuesday.

Then on the dashboard with user agents new column shows. 1 request. Curl’s user agent sticks out like a sore thumb.

“Oh, someone probably just copy & pasted contents of the text message to check it out through curl in order to be safe” wouldn’t take place in Top 10 thoughts that’d I have after seeing that.
