I've gotten 10 emails posing as SendGrid in 10 days. Sent all to [email protected]. Robo responses only. The emails come from non-SG addresses, but are real domains like https://t.co/i0XQjrDts4, https://t.co/jmvBUST5Fj, https://t.co/giROkJNTpP. What's happening @sendgrid_ops?

[Diego @diego_works]

Never mind. I went a little further in the course and learned about message handlers, which can be used for event-driven architecture. It would still be cool to target by ID but not a big deal since I can avoid traversing the component tree altogether.

[Diego @diego_works]

Hey @InductiveAuto I just learned how to target components by traversing the component tree. As a web developer this feels a bit fragile because it’s dependent on page structure. It would be nice to target by ID like we can in CSS and JS.

@jeffrey_way I read newsletters to stay informed on industry topics and only get on here to occasionally tweet at a company because sometimes this is still better than a contact form or email.

[Diego @diego_works]

@jeffrey_way This may seem hypocritical since I’m replying here, but I made that trade a few years ago and don’t regret it. I do often feel uninformed and occasionally even a bit foolish, but only when it comes to current events, and the peace and focus I get in return is well worth it.

16 days ago I reported a bug to @zapier. After 10 days corresponding with support (giving more details), they submitted the issue to the dev team. Today the fix was deployed. By far the fastest and best support experience I've had with a major software product.

I have spent weeks following the DS-11 instructions to a T to get our kids passports, only to show up at the post office and be told our kids have to be with us. Why is that not stated ANYWHERE on the DS-11 instructions?? Can anyone at @StateDept fix this?

Hey @NUCARRENTALS I need to change my reservation but can't get a hold of anyone. Tried phone, email, and WhatsApp. No response after several days.

I'm closing Birdboar's @wpengine account for cost-saving reasons. WP Engine has been wonderful, but there were several dark patterns in the account-closing process. It's sad when your last interaction with a company is a bad one.

@AshAllenDesign I held out for years for the same reason (ugly/overwhelming when not familiar with it). Gave it a real try last year and love it now. Lightbulb moment was realizing it allows me to write less code. E.g. no need to check if something is a number or has a property in most cases.

Hey @raycastapp I dig the new auto-quit apps feature. Any plans to increase the intervals? I want to use it to quit apps after 24 hr of inactivity. I use different apps from one day to the next. Often end up with 30+ open apps after a few days

Let's say that hypothetically my @webawesomer backer tee was ruined when my lovely wife dyed some clothes and washed them with my shirt... is there a way I could buy another one?

[Diego @diego_works]

Finally heard from One. They still refuse to deactivate my account. An abandoned online bank acct seems like a huge security risk. I'm ok with them keeping my data, but I want my acct to be inaccessible.

Hey @joinoneapp, I closed my acct a few weeks ago because I haven't used it in over a year. I asked for my account to be deleted and this is the response I received. Is it not possible to have my account deleted?

[Diego @diego_works]

@joinoneapp Thanks @joinoneapp for connecting via DM. I haven't heard from you in a few days though. When can I expect this verification email?

@ianlandsman @traskjd Thanks! Yeah I can’t imagine Taylor behaving this way, ha. But I was curious about the other mechanics of it. I appreciate the thoughtful response.

[Diego @diego_works]

@traskjd @ianlandsman (Maybe the answer is obvious, but I require spoon feeding 👶)

[Diego @diego_works]

@traskjd Business dad @ianlandsman, what are the chances Laravel will find itself in a similar predicament in the future because of Accel’s (and maybe others’) funding?

2/2 If my new carrier doesn't work out, I am 100% coming back to @Mintmobile . What if leaving had been a bad experience? I would STILL LEAVE, but I would NEVER COME BACK. I wish more companies understood that losing a customer is an excellent opportunity to create loyalty.

[Diego @diego_works]

1/2 Yesterday I left @Mintmobile. Porting my number could not have been easier or faster. The support rep gave me exactly what I needed, and porting took literally 2 minutes. This excellent experience made me love Mint even more than I did before, and I was sad to leave.
