Definition: In this task, you are given a Reddit post as a text. Your task is to generate a title for this text. The title should start with "TIFU by", followed by a situation that caused humor. The title should contain 7-12 words, ideally.
Input: Text: this actually just happened now. i am developing a website that i am hosting via free hosting at github. only issue is that because it's a free service it's hosted via https://myusername.github.io/scratch-list/.

now as my prod build is slightly different to my dev build, i like to spin up a server before i deploy to test that nothing's gone funky. to get around the whole my website being hosted on /scratch-list/ i decided to make a script that would also copy all of the built website js and cs files to /scratch-list/ so that i don't get 404'd.

here's where the fuckup starts, i decided to get the npm tool called ncp, a handy tool which recursively copies files from directory a to directory b. i thought to myself, surely if i give it directory ./docs and tell it to copy the contents to ./docs/scratch-list it won't copy the scratch-list folder. well yeah, i was wrong. 

a few seconds later i have made the following folder:

c:\dev\codeclub-scratchlist\docs\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\scratch-list\s

yup that's right, 23108 character long directory comprised of 1775 directories of scratch-list. anyone who has ever made a directory too long in windows knows that it kinda falls over anf fails. well when i tried to delete the folder i got a message saying it cannot do that action because the file name is too long (congrats windows, you just played yourself. allowing a file so long you cannot delete it to be created, good work)

then i tried to use powershell and the rm command. still got the message about file name too long to delete. so i did some googling and found that the solution is to copy the files away... sounds stupid? yeah that's because it is.

i used robocopy to mirror recursively an empty folder into the scratch-list folder. about 10 min later, i had successfully copied away the directly.

 
made a directory so long i had to use a copy tool to delete it as windows couldn't handle it with it's delete tools.

TIFU by making a folder so big windows couldn't delete it
