Complaints as a Service

😂

In 1999 you could get a full time tech job if you knew 3 html tags.

3 years later, after Dot-Com, you couldn’t get a job without a master’s and 10 years experience.

That’s what this whole «I vibe coded myself to a Silicon Valley job» sounds like to me.

Velcro is a cost effective and elegant solution but hotels are like nope, we want that sliver of light to shine right on your face when you're trying to sleep.

I can't work hotel showers or figure out hotel lights either. 😂😭

Every f'ing time, me to myself: "You have a master's degree in software engineering, yet here we are, again. You can't work the lights or shower." 🤦‍♀️

Like. Come on. Science is cool, and scientists are cool

There are some very nice new updates in this new release, come and see them in action!

I’ve posted it before, but it feels evergreen

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

It's the only thing that is marketed as "It's coming for your job. Embrace it!"

I'm trying to decide whether to be nice and mail the hotel and let them know, or do reply-all shenanigans and say something like "I need a suite and a meeting room for 20 people". Put it on the card ending in XXXX.

They're giving out details about their employees. They're also booking meeting rooms, and have stated the last 4 of the card number that is pre-approved to use. (con't)

A hotel sent me one of those confirmation emails welcoming me for my stay tomorrow. I've stayed there before and it's a nice hotel. However, somehow, this email managed to get put on some reply chain to an entirely different customer, who doesn't realize I'm on there, and... (con't)

The FCC has banned all new foreign-made routers unless they get an exemption from the Pentagon or DHS

This is precisely how a government sets up the framework to install a backdoor, create a firewall, and switch off the internet when it's convenient for them.

"might get a new feature and you can reevaluate based on what you don't ship" - sounds like the entire AI bubble.

But what will people use as vanity metrics if not their follower count?

Haha he is great I love James Hoffman

Inevitable, but didn't have to be.

Graffiti under an overpass, that is code. It's is a class named foo, and it prints out "PENIS"

I was reminded of this classic meme today.

That's one of my favs 😂😂

Surely something along these lines...

A picture of a corner. On the left is a door with a sign that says not an exit. On the right is a wall with an exit sign that points toward the door.

I laugh whenever I come across this photo that I took in a Vegas hotel years ago. There's a software metaphor in here.

Can You Keep a Secret YouTube video by Stacy Clouds

Spent some time playing in the studio — new video is live!

Topic: secrets. How we handle them (or don't) in our code.

This is one of those things that feels obvious but is easy to get wrong & AI tools make it even easier to expose sensitive data without noticing.
