@ATT a 502 on your sign-in page means your backend is dead. Where's the monitoring? The failover? Or are we vibe coding auth in production now?

[James Gress @jmgress]

Dealing with @ATT's website is hands-down the worst customer experience I've ever had.

[James Gress @jmgress]

@ATTHelp I’ll DM. I’m hoping you can help where others have failed — I’ve spent far too many hours trying to correct @ATT onboarding mistakes that prevent me from accessing my account. I need my account details fixed and properly escalated.

[James Gress @jmgress]

I have been getting 1 bar on my ne @ATT plan.

[James Gress @jmgress]

@ATTHelp "I can’t use that link because it requires me to log in, and I can’t access my account because your team did a poor job onboarding me. Reps told me I can't even get help until Jan 17th. I’m paying for service NOW and have 1 bar.

Nadella drops at LlamaCon: "20-30% of Microsoft’s code is AI-made! Python’s killing it, but C++? It’s like AI’s awkward first date!" Me: Python’s the AI rockstar, while C++ is stuck in coding detention! #LlamaCon2025 #AICodeVibes #RocketDog

@FordsGarage really let down by the Cobb salad at your Sheldon location. If this is what I can expect, I’ll not order again. Also never got a response after reaching out via Uber Eats.

Thinking of sending a 10 million token prompt to #LLaMA 4?

Hope you also prompted your bank for a loan.

At these rates, you’re not fine-tuning a model — you’re mortgaging a house, selling a kidney, and naming your firstborn #PromptGPT.

Generative AI is like a toddler with a thesaurus—endlessly babbling, occasionally brilliant, and half the time you’re just nodding along pretending to understand while it proudly shows you its word salad masterpiece.

[James Gress @jmgress]

Join us tomorrow at BWW for the Generative AI meetup—where the wings are hot, the beer’s cold, and the AI jokes are 90% human-approved (we’re still training the other 10%)!

Meta just announced LlamaCon, their first-ever generative AI developer conference on April 29, 2025—because nothing says 'cutting-edge tech' like naming your event after a fuzzy pack animal.

@Deltaxhlp You are a scammer, and I have reported you.

[James Gress @jmgress]

Extremely disappointed after being stranded by @Delta on our trip back from Amsterdam. Offering only a $75 refund on our first-class tickets is unacceptable! Looking advice from other users on how to get a better resolution? #CustomerService #TravelTroubles

[James Gress @jmgress]

@Deltaxhlp I have and you are not responding.... guessing this is an automated reply from a bot.

[James Gress @jmgress]

@Delta extremely disappointed to discover my case was closed without any explanation or update. This is unacceptable customer service. How can customers trust you when concerns are ignored? #Delta #CustomerServiceFail #Frustrated

AI can't replace developers—it doesn’t know the magic incantation of random Stack Overflow snippets and blind optimism.

[James Gress @jmgress]

They say AI will replace developers, but it still hasn’t figured out why “it works on my machine.”

[James Gress @jmgress]

To replace software engineers with AI, customers will need to clearly describe what they need.

Looks like our jobs are secure.
