As a website developer, it’s easy to just use the 'maxlength' attribute on fields you don’t want to exceed a certain length (for valid reasons or not). But then exactly this happens: A user pastes something in there, doesn’t notice that their input got truncated, and something, somewhere breaks.

'maxlength' is terrible user experience.
