@CaltransDist3 Perfect thank you!

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

@CaltransDist3 Asking as the picture says Sunday!

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

@CaltransDist3 11 AM Saturday or Sunday?

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

@WriteAheadLog Aha! That makes sense, thank you for clarifying 😀 I was surprised if we had to do all those notarizing even now 🤣

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

Glad to have been able to help some of this ship in my first three months at @stripe !

[Jeff Weinstein @jeff_weinstein]

While the Stripe @Atlas team prides itself on shipping quickly, there are two upcoming launches that have been in the works for more than two years, each.

(Like pies or proteins, some fundamental infrastructure upgrades require time to bake and cool, before they're ready to go.)

We had @linear event for founders in SF last night, and part of that I had a fireside chat with @patrickc from Stripe.

We covered some topics like the importance of craft, product management, good leaders, etc.

Some highlights:

The importance of craft: At Linear we see the craft as the requirement for quality. People who care about their craft, almost automatically produce quality.

Patrick: "We want to employ really good people. Really good people just don't like working on kind of sloppy things. There's just a deep spiritual aspect to that."

Power of small teams: In my experience in companies, some of the best work was always done by a small, focused team, most features at Linear are built by 2-4 team members.

Patrick: "The original iPhone software team was 20 people. The kernel, the apps, the browser, the touch interface, like the whole thing. So when people are telling you that they need 40 people for some project, you can explain to them how the iPhone was built with 20 people. So how big would you consider your project in multiples of the iPhone?"

How Stripe still builds products in a startup way:

Patrick: "There is an internal recipe for this which first guides you to figure out the right user for the product, then the team should go talk to some of those people. Then you should get some of these people into the Slack channel or some other channel where you can get them to try it, get more feedback or try to produce. Once you have 5 excited users for something, you can scale it to 100. Then you can start looking at some metrics, but again you look at things like is it actually solving their problems etc."

Such a classic compounding curve! :lets-go:

[Jeff Weinstein @jeff_weinstein]

60,000 companies have now started on stripe @atlas.

- first 10K took 42 months
- next 10K took 15 months
- next 10K took 13 months
- next 10K took 12 months
- next 10K took 9 months
- next 10K took 8 months

more startups, faster.

@CaltransD2 Hello @CaltransD2 thank you so much for everything that you do to keep our roads safe. Is the I5 NB and SB still open? I ask this because on CalTrans I see a message board sign saying I5 is closed, however I do not see any full lane closures. Thank you!

@USAndChennai @USAndChennai Hello, there seem to be no appointments available for H1B (New, Consulate Appointment) at Chennai for a few weeks now. Is the Consulate not accepting H1B appointments for April/May/June?

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

Exciting to see the product that we've been working on relentlessly coming to life!

@nginx Controller with Controller Application Security

[F5 DevCentral Community @devcentral]

Modern app teams need a self‑service, API‑driven platform that integrates easily into CI/CD workflows to make app lifecycle management easier. @JohnWagnon Introduces Application Security with @nginx Controller in this #LightboardLesson. https://t.co/al4pw9IVw5

@Dell_IN @DellCares @DellCares Been waiting for a week to hear back from someone at Dell. I had such a great experience with @Dell in the US, but, the experience with @Dell_IN has been terrible.

I should probably just order a Samsung or from a different competition who has better customer service.

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

@Dell_IN Hello Dell, I've been trying to reach your Sales Customer Support for a day now and have been out of luck.

Whom can I talk to for making a purchase of Dell Product?

No one picks up the phone on 080-2510-8026
Live Agent talk isn't available on https://t.co/4xT9TMCJn0

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

@Dell_IN @DellCares @Dell_IN Is @DellCares responsible for orders in India?

For US orders, it was seamless to order via phone or through dell website

For ordering in India, dell website has zero capability to do so. It just gives me an option to fill a contact form and click "Yes, I'm interested"

@Lucidchart_Help @VoltexSolutions @lucidchart @Jinfash Hey! Looks like things are back up functioning correctly. Will drop an email if it fails again.

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

@Lucidchart_Help @VoltexSolutions @lucidchart @Jinfash 503 errors are back again.

[Sanath Kumar @SanathKumarBS]

@Lucidchart_Help @VoltexSolutions @lucidchart @Jinfash I'm having issues too. The live status page says everything is operational, but, it isn't.

Issues:
1. Intermittent 503 errors
2. If 503 resolves, I get this error.
