We are truly ‘frogs in boiling water’. A year ago Stage 1 or 2 load-shedding was unacceptable. A year later, with Stages 4-6 an every day event, we pray for Stages 1 and 2. No one even raises the possibility of no load-shedding.

One of the biggest cultural shifts in my experience from Mozilla to Stripe is code review speed. At Mozilla you'd often wait days and have to hunt down people to review PRs.

At Stripe my PR is often reviewed within 10 minutes.

That makes a _huge_ difference for shipping fast

Don't make kids memorize information they can google. Instead, teach them how to:

▪️Navigate information abundance and curate valuable content

▪️Interpret search results and assess the quality + veracity of information

▪️Make ethical judgements about how to use the information

@TicketProSA ... Where can I see my purchased tickets?
Didn't get any confirmation other than the payment screen that I have purchased tickets. No email, sms, nothing.
Also... Why can't I pick print at home as delivery method?
