Parsers broken while you wait

linkbackparser.py:

Thanks to Phil for being cool enough to crash my parser on its first day of deployment.

Oddly enough, I’ve told quite a few developers that my best skill is finding a quick way to break things.

A parser is meant to break something down to its component parts, so let me be the first to make the comparison on this post and say I consider you to be our very own Human Parser. As to whether you effect the programmer’s work or sanity or both… well, let’s keep your options open.

The Human Parser saves the world by breaking down developers, so you don’t have to.

Phil Ringnalda: Use him to parse two parsers, get your ego broken FREE!

Now I have this urge to make something that parses something so that Phil can break it into bits.
