Today's Daily Double is... 402 PAYMENT REQUIRED!

spent tax day giving our demo agents new identities. say hello to morgan of bronstate auto insurance and cassidy of bronchase bank, two extremely fake employees of two extremely fake institutions (i am very proud of those names). then mid-swap the voice provider's api starts throwing 402 payment required at me. on april 15th! turns out the card on the account had lapsed, so on the one day the whole damn country is being told payment required, the machine decided i should hear it too. laughed alone at my desk. swapped em over to a different voice provider and morgan and cassidy never missed a shift (fun fact: 402 has been sitting in the http spec for decades waiting on a world where software pays software. patient lil feller). taxes filed, robots renamed, invoice paid
