    Meh, not that hard to default things to “string”, or similar. For example, the “text” type in PostgreSQL explicitly says “unlimited”, though it seems it’s up to 1Gb. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-character.html

    Similarly, it’s not like text fields on web pages automagically apply limits.

    It’s not unimaginable that some dumbass could vibe-code themselves up an easily exploited form.

      100% accurate, though vibe coding is optional.

      If I have a set of requirements that don’t mention any type of restriction, then I won’t arbitrarily add one - as far as I know, I could be breaking intended functionality. If I’m invested in this, I’ll add it to the list of stuff that needs clarification, otherwise it’s gonna ship as specified, and eventually someone’s gonna file a change request.

      These ‘unlimited’ scams are getting out of hand. All I wanted was to store the library of alexandria in plain text.
