The hardest part of software engineering is convincing people that a simple solution is actually better than an impressive one

@Ocado @anthony37845677 Unacceptable. Lots of people just put an expensive placeholder item because you insist on a ridiculous £40 minimum order. Nobody has had the chance to amend their orders for the last 2.5 hours at least. I'm not paying for an order that I couldn't amend.

Ewww, what the hell is this @Pringles_UK !?!?!? 🤮

@dhh Sometimes I wonder what his engineering team thinks of all these controversial decisions. It's probably exhausting when these kinds of ideas come top-down.

@thoughtbot Thanks, great job! It has made this week's work a lot easier.

@AspyrMedia Great, Civ VI has been broken on Mac for 2 days now since you released this. Roll it back ffs. I can't even load the game and nor can most other people.

@abouelatta_ali If you spent half this time trying to actually make a quality app rather than just faffing around with vanity experiments to increase ad views then maybe I'd actually be willing to pay for it

This video created by British psychological professor Richard Wiseman demonstrates the power of perspective in creating illusions. It’s titled, “Assumptions”

Pay for Docker Pro? Hmm...
* Every Docker for Mac update is completely broken
* The benefits of upgrading are only relevant if you use Docker Hub, which we can't because of compliance issues.
GREAT VALUE!!! 🤨
Perfect timing that Podman now works on MacOS! 😄

Remember kids: if you study hard, get good grades, go to a good college, get a job, work hard, never take a sick day, live within your means and do what you're told ... then one day your boss might go to space

@jasongorman I think I went about 5 deliveries in a row at one point where they weren't the real person. I've even had an actual child deliver the meal, albeit driven there by an adult! :/

@hotmart_en guys, your site is not working at all today.

[steve.rss @stevenjmesser]

My question to leaders: we know that moments in the office can be magical, but what work have you done to understand the social dynamics at play in distributed settings? And how might you support and encourage more people to make the magic happen online *as well as* in-office?

@AnnemariePlas @NHSE_Danny Please don’t. I don’t want claps.

Calling people heroes might be well intentioned but has consequences. Heroes aren’t allowed days off. Heroes aren’t allowed to cry.

We’re not heroes, we’re humans - we shouldn’t be put on pedestals because the only way down is to fall.
