@BestBuySupport Business lesson, and why @BestBuy will likely join their cousin Circuit City in retail heaven in the next 18-24 mos: If you can’t do something well and have no strategy when a service doesn’t work, DON’T 👏 OFFER 👏 IT 👏.

@DoorDash why do you guys currently suck so incredibly hard?

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

@Clear DEN has been a mess lately. Line outside the screening area and down the corner. Seems you’ve also got some agents who aren’t quite as friendly as usual, too. Please tell me y’all aren’t going downhill. Been with you since before the bankruptcy (2007). Do better!

@greentheonly @earcos Several people on TMC with 12/21 builds getting steam and showing 16gb, so the February cutoff isn’t entirely accurate. New release shows RAM config in advanced details on software screen.

Here’s a simple #customerservice rule. If customers have to hear about /understand your “system”, you screwed up. Computer did something? Fix it for the customer. Some other employee screwed up? Fix it for the customer. Don’t tell the customer your problems. Bring back service.

@drmdigitalradio Why, in 2022, are there no DRM receivers available to the general public? Why do you not see this as a failure of your plan? As an #SDR developer we understand apps are available, but that doesn’t fill the need. No receivers = No audience.

Agreed @kgwalters! If you don’t have time for a human interview your candidates 1 on 1, you’re a bad tech company. Automated coding quizzes are crap, btw, and tell you nothing about a canidate. 26 years and I still make mistakes - a junior has no chance.

If you're using @codesignalcom's "Certify" product, allow me to showcase how profoundly abusive it is to the candidates you're supposedly attempting to woo.

#slack you know what’s a really bad UI pattern? Unwanted modal pop-ups they force user behavior. Been getting these today. I don’t want to go to my workspace settings. I don’t need forced training. Leave me alone. #uidesign

What people think when I tell them I have an identical twin brother...

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

@jerryaldrichiii Wait you can close Jira tickets? Whoops.

...My $4000 escape key has arrived. Praise be!

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

Just a pro tip, gear head friends. Don’t pre-order your iPhone from @BestBuy! As a former employee (lol) I am sad to find out that they are very very not good at fulfilling orders when paid and promised and @BestBuySupport is a bunch of unhelpful wieners. Nothing but shenanigans!

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

SO MANY TIMES THIS. I can’t remember how many times coming up in the <decade redacted>’s I went to a “Code interview” which was really just a showoff session. Nothing was gained, nothing was learned - other than “I don’t want to work here.” Guess what. People code differently.

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

I wish people would focus on the real issues of the day. Like the fact that there is no @sheetz or @Wawa out here in Colorado. Seriously guys, what did John Denver ever do to you?

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

@nellshamrell @penguin_tonk How often have you looked at each other and said said “Doctor? Doctor.”

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

@JimmyKimmelLive Can you pleeease do Hall and Oates “Out of Touch” with Paul Rudd? It would seriously make my millennium.

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

@kgwalters @nellshamrell What if I told you my high school GF’s name was Christie? That was fun.

[Chris Todd @CTTapHere]

Remember that time @galen_emery stole a puppy? Don’t worry, he gave it back, eventually.
