You, as a business owner or someone in a senior position at a business, have a clear image of where you need it to be — an ideal version of that business…

Hi @NVIDIAGFN, after updating to the latest version I've been signed out and it won't allow me to sign in again — email verification completes, but the app hangs, and same thing is happening with the forums.

Hi @TheAA_UK, I’m concerned that it’s now day two and the smart care team haven’t made the appropriate effort to mediate between me and the garage.

Hi @easyJet most of flight EZY2200 has been sat on a stairwell for almost an hour waiting for a nonexistent aeroplane. The gate crew know nothing. Any chance some could sort this out?

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

Hi @EE I’ve made two requests for someone to call me via 150 and after 40 minutes I’m still waiting. I need someone to call me ASAP.

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

@HMRCcustomers I called, went through the appropriate options, and the service hung up. Is there any chance of speaking to someone to get this sorted?

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

Hi @HMRCgovuk, I'd appreciate some assistance getting into the Gov website.

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

@HMRCcustomers Tom, much appreciated.

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

@HMRCcustomers Hi Mike, I'd much prefer this conversation continued via direct message.

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

@HMRCcustomers Apologies for the late response. I’ve already got 2 Gateway IDs because the website hasn’t recognised the one before it, and it’s happened again. I use 1Password, so this isn’t negligence. How do I get in with what I have?

Hi @PhoenixGroupUK I’ve been attempting to get in touch with ReAssure for the last couple of months with no luck and I’d appreciate some assistance, please.

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

Hi @HSBC_UK, any chance of speaking with someone in person? I've tried Internet Banking and the automated telephone service, but neither are giving me what I need.

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

Hi @AdobeCare, an chance you could point me in the direction of where I could find the renewal date for an account?

Hi @MongoDB, I've created a Custom Role to limit access to a database, but the new User modal is forcing me to also choose a Built-in Role, which would either grant too much or too few privileges, or does it do something else? The documentation is confusing.

One benefit of using Profiles in @vscode is to split extensions out, which has brought the system resource usage down.

I love #learning and figuring things out, and sometimes that takes more time than I'd like. I could use #chatgpt, but what would I learn? And if everyone began using ChatGPT, how would it learn, and who from? We are the data model.

[Wayne Smallman @Octane]

Workspaces in @npmjs ( https://t.co/G7kouoJnMm ) is a beautiful thing.

@adamsconsulting @BillGates @pascal_bornet Slacker zen logic that fails to take into account the technical debt it risks bringing with it, which I suspect explains a lot about Microsoft products during Gate's tenure.

Admit you’re old. Retweet if you know what this is…

I love listening to #ambientmusic while working. But there's ambient and there's Delta Sleep System Program 1 (Track 1), by Dr Jeffrey Thompson… 😴

Good to know that virtuals in Mongoose don't work with aggregations in @MongoDB without a bit of prodding and poking!
