@IKEA I have placed 5 orders in the last year, and every time the order ships I immediately get an order cancellation notification. Your support team says there's nothing they can do.

It is literally impossible for me to order a product from your website. Please fix this.

@Safeway I have no interest in talking to your tier 1 support team. I've spent several hours doing that and have made zero progress.

[Nick Pennock @RealNickPennock]

@Safeway Can I meet with the product owner for your website? I'm so tired of being unreasonably angry any time I try to order on your website and would like to help you make it suck just a little bit less.

[Nick Pennock @RealNickPennock]

@Safeway Suggestion #1: you could use past substitution data from me, or even from everyone to pick better default substitutions and alternates. If I've picked the same item to be the substitute for another item multiple times, you should set it by default.

@Apple How is it 2024 and you still can't prioritize or disable audio output devices on MacOS? Are you not ashamed of yourself?

@GooglePixel_US I just bought a pixel tablet with the dock, and for some reason putting the tablet on the dock forces the screen to rotate even when auto rotate is off. How can I make the tablet actually respect the auto rotate setting while on the dock?

@renobelk Don't forget to add the deposit as a negative itemization 😅

@renobelk @packetpushers @packetcoders @rickjdon I really like graphql. It can be really powerful, but also very complicated to implement well. We also found a significant barrier in user adoption. I would love to see more acceptance of the API technology.

[Nick Pennock @RealNickPennock]

@renobelk Congratulations Jason! Our first is due in September 😁

[Nick Pennock @RealNickPennock]

@renobelk It's really helpful when you have different queries to the schema that end up with similar data sets, you can cast the results into the same structure for all of the queries, and simplify your code that processes the results, because it only has to understand one structure.

[Nick Pennock @RealNickPennock]

@PrimeNodes Are you guys having some issues? Your website, and my services you're hosting all seem to be offline.

Getting ready for Brittany Howard and Dave Matthews Band at the #CiscoLive Celebration! This Pre-event DJ is killing it!

[Nick Pennock @RealNickPennock]

I just registered for Cisco Live in Las Vegas & entered to win a backstage pass to meet the band. https://t.co/L8sgdnQWJT #CiscoLive #CiscoLiveWin

@heyjulesfern I feel like just asking the developer to debug someone's perl script is a great way to teach the benefits of good code hygiene

@renobelk @LearningatCisco @Kareem_isk @ronytomen @aroach Congratulations Jason! That's awesome!
