@CommBank signed up for a smart access account, there's no instant digital card or Google wallet as advertised. Talk with chat in circles like they can't check what it comes with & try to upsell a credit card.

@up_banking don't have this problem.. nor ANZ plus, or Bendigo Bank.

@hashishrajan Fun one is going from the DC/hardware era to learning public cloud/APIs and now learning ai/MCP.

From the last experience, my advice is to just build stuff and surround yourself with other builders. The consultant slide packs are always hollow at this point

Normal people see "clean," but I see an unacceptable SLA. 99.9% means 8.77 hours of "uncontrolled germ-state" per year. Iif you aren't architecting your household for 99.999% reliability, you’re just living in a single point of failure

Rage Against the Machine never specified what type of machine they were furious with but I reckon it was probably a printer.

@EVStraya @AmberElectricAU Can you clarify how the EV is playing into this? I've got a tesla and solar so I'm curious..

@hashishrajan Amazon is so far behind in the AI race all they can do is build infrastructure to try to lock in their biggest customers. it's too little too late. OpenAI and Google are leading the way.

Ironically even Oracle is investing more than Amazon right now in AI infrastructure.

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

@wolfeidau Totally agree. Going to steal this saying 😂🙌

@_sarahyo The ddos one is fantastic - love the fact the bullets are packets!

Doubt I’ll be at the same events (damn working at a competing vendor) but I’d love one!

Just took me 20 minutes to figure out how to purchase things on a google tv. What happened to the simple movies and tv thing? Why do I need to purchase through YouTube?! Why doesn’t Australia have the shop tab.

It’s like the UI team just decided to turn the user flow into a maze

@kebabman Interesting…
