Yeah this is a misleading title. Title should be: "Should Mapcodes Replace Addresses"

I agree with that. But, as a European, I also agree with the parent comment. It is weird in the sense that we could never think of something like that, things such as a "doughnut hole" where a few months a year you don't have an insurance.

I currently live and work in the US, love it, love the country. I have the chance to have a great plan thanks to my company. But i'm not sure how much more I can keep tacitly approving this system.

We fixed that issue at Datadog by using Chef Omnibus:

It's more complicated than the proposed solution by nylas but ultimately it gives you full control of the whole environment and ensure that you won't hit ANY dependency issue when shipping your code to weird systems.
