There are a lot of assumptions one could make when designing data types and schemas for aviation data that turn out to be inaccurate. In the spirit of Patrick McKenzie’s classic piece on names, here are some false assumptions one might make about aviation.
That was fascinating. Ditto the link in the post to the article on names, which they cited as inspiration for writing it: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/?ref=flightaware.engineering
There are also lists for time and date and for phone numbers. It’s an article format that I love because it gives you a lot of insight into a topic even if it’s not your field of knowledge.
Although I recall that some of them don’t include links to explanations or info about the falsehoods; I like that this aviation one did do that.
Yes, met too, sometimes I’m not able to work out the counterexample by myself.
That is a classic, one of which I sadly expedienced personally.
