If you have ever sent calendar invites from your own backend, you have probably seen this problem:
You send an event update
The ICS file validates
Google Calendar imports it without errors
Nothing changes
No error. No warning. The update simply does not apply.
This is one of the most common issues developers face when working with ICS. The root cause is that Google interprets the specification differently from Outlook and Apple Calendar. The behaviour is not random. It is the result of several strict internal checks.
I keep seeing the same pattern across early-stage teams:
the MVP works until it really doesn t.
For many founders, the hardest part isn t getting something online it s everything that comes after: infra that cracks under real users code that no dev wants to touch rewriting the whole stack AI-built projects no one can maintain the moment you realize your prototype isn t a product
