Except there are mandates like FSMA 204 that make them required.
The standard URL format can also be encoded into RFID tags.
This is likely where things will head as printing serialized products is slow, cumbersome and is fraught with issues due to smearing, resolution etc.. and the reason you mentioned.
I knew when I posted I would be walking into a hornets nest (HN)
I am actually looking for feedback if they are giving it.
My hope was to help spread information about the upcoming changes to packaging but knew I might get the stings of criticism.
Thank you for the feedback. Any suggestions on what you would change?
I agree. My focus has been on getting the product functional and compliant with the standards.
Not denying what it is.
Any suggestions on how to unslup it are always welcome.
I am the creator of

I have been deep into this space for a fair bit of time now. The real power is in Recalls and Return Fraud. There a ton of other nice things that this will empower of course. AMA - I will do my best to answer.
For some other stuff to read about how they can help have a poke at https://blog.closient.com/
Not advertising - just trying to get the word out on 2D codes and RFID and what they provide consumers.
For those saying "Why not something else?" - it comes down to adoption - QR was just the more popular winner. While the register/till is where most of the scanning is happening the QR is just a normal URL and consumer can scan them.
Minor typo fix "SuperMach" > "SuperMatch
Any chance you will support Canada?
Too bad I cannot zoom into the image in my phone. Even tapping on it does not enable me to really see it much larger.

As far as I am aware, there are legitimate uses for this technology.
Is there a place where I can pay to fund a Django audit? I would gladly contribute.
We use Datadog and Sentry because their mechanism of interaction and retention are different - if Datadog changed their process to be closer to the way Sentry aggregates errors over time I can see us never needing Sentry again.
Same - I kept holding and holding. I am now writing this from my grave.
I love Sentry but it has become a bit over-the-top complicated as of late (for my taste).
Glad to see one more on the market. I only knew about GlitchTip prior to today.
