@munin
My evil plans are also under 500 characters. Have to keep it simple, and no scrum meetings.
@munin I've seen some regular expressions...
@oleum That would be why I disclaimed with 'most' rather than 'all' ;-)
@munin many codegolf demos are less!
@munin but can you parse HTML5 with a regular expression in under 500 chars?
@puellavulnerata @munin <obligatory-you-cannot-parse-html-with-regex-copypasta>

@munin we request proof that the pie recipe is, in fact, <500char

:growlingstomach:

@brrzap Heh, check back with me in the fall when I pull out the book that has that pie recipe in it.
