Full-stack web developer + MBA. I tweet about ecommerce and conversion optimization aka "growth hacking" from a developer's perspective

Was @AuthorizeNet 's payment processor down for about 25 minutes around 2:30pm EST?

Highly recommend not using cloudflare #cloudflare. We are pro customers spending about $2,000 / year who submitted a support ticket 26 days ago and they have not replied, despite about 5-10 additional "please reply" pings from us.

[Scott Lush @ScottLush]

@kylehotchkiss Yes for us too

As a web developer you have this little dream that someday you'll have the time to revisit all your sites' code and make it perfect: no errors, all optimized. Never happens

[Scott Lush @ScottLush]

@nntaleb your tweets could add so much value because your books are so insightful. But 90% of your tweets are snipes and you patting yourself on the back for being the smartest guy in the room

[Scott Lush @ScottLush]

Is the https://t.co/taNLKzKno5 api returning errors and timing out for others too?

[Scott Lush @ScottLush]

@AngieMaskeBerka Yes it appears down for us

@alexadevs Every day for the past 3 days at 3:45pm in Boston what sounds like an Alexa timer goes off and continues for about 18 hours! The whole neighborhood can hear it (perhaps thousands of people). Any way you can remotely disable it?

[Scott Lush @ScottLush]

1st World Problem: somewhere nearby a neighbor's Alexa alarm has been going off for 2 days straight. We've lined up neighbors to yell all at once "Alexa, off"

[Scott Lush @ScottLush]

@alexadevs There is an Alexa in Boston whose alarm / timer has been sounding for 2 straight days at max volume. It is driving neighbors crazy. Do you have a way to turn it off remotely?

@LiquidWeb Thank you to rock star support engineer Scott Bixby for optimizing our server at Forceofnatureclean to handle a 50x surge in traffic.

It’s “Log On” not “Logon” or “Log In”. I was present at the creation. It’s because when you entered a username and password on a mainframe it said that the log was on.

Is Amazon evil? I’m willing to spend say 10% or more over Amazon’s prices to support my local Boston businesses. But there are now almost NONE :-(

How come it’s hard to make money on the Internet? In 1975 the Ginsu Knife’s CPA was $3.75 (inflated to 2018 dollars). In 2017, average CPA was $45. What are you doing 10x better than Ginsu?

@Optimizely Are you kidding me, we had an important web experiment running, our trial period ended, it turns off the experiment and you have no self-serve way we can start paying. No Pay-as-You-Go plan, and your sales reps don't respond. We feel totally trapped, screwed.

Equifax is now officially running an extortion racket. This is what happens when you go to set a credit freeze on their website.

“Submit’ is something unfortunate you do in jiu-jitsu, it doesn’t feel like a high-converting CTA on a webpage if you ask me

As the Representative of Salem, MA, I can confirm that this is false. https://t.co/8yJIzZBSE8
