Tilting at Digital Windmills

Tried to sign up for an @Azure training class. After the 4th CAPTCHA I gave up. Guess I'm a robot afterall.

@MicrosoftTeams why does Teams send a reminder for every past event of the week every time I connect to Android Auto?

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

So you and your other veteran developer friends are getting cranky and like to take naps. Never heard of this phenomena before. Must be AI: https://t.co/ezLMONHtj1

All my @EmporiaEnergy plugs turned off and started blinking red today. Holding down the power button doesn't reset them. Anyone else?

@StupIdiocy @Azure @AzureSupport I love it when even the health page goes down:

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

@msft4startups When I log into https://t.co/2eilXiymqq with my LinkedIn credentials page just spins forever. Anyone else seeing this? Trying to report an issue, but I can't even get to that page. Been this way all weekend.

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

@DoorDash Why does it take an more than an hour to confirm an order?

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

@mikebelshe0 Know anyone who is doing this? https://t.co/uuCFIFRIqD

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

Congrats to the @nytimesarts who just moved the Wordle bot behind a higher paywall than the one I've been paying for years. #eshitification.

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

Congratulations to @WIRED for making it impossible to unsubscribe online! It appears your hypocrisy knows no bounds #eshitification

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

TFW you realize @WagWalking made it so hard to unsubscribe that they suckered you for another year. Of course, no support email to communicate with.

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

@Enphase why can't I cut & paste a Wifi password into your app. Seems like you go through the trouble to specifically prevent it. Do you hate password managers?

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

@Rippling I'm unable to digitally sign my legible full name with a mouse. Curious how you bypass ADA requirements there.

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

HBO vs Netflix is akin to Apple vs Google. Today, humanity is still winning over the algorithm, but while I'm rooting for humanity, the algorithm is coming on strong.

Boy Scout Troop 58 is one of the only food booths accepting @Venmo at the SF 🍒 🌸 Festival! Have any signage you can bring us? #spammasubi

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

@ProfBrianCox That is ridiculous. But will you admit they communicate between ships by creating signs in cornfields?

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

Mostly agree with this, but he ignores the value of continually testing small changes and TDD. That's why waterfall died out: https://t.co/aVtbOe6KGm

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

We're in the very fortunate position of growing the team. Looking for a Sr. Build & Release engineer who wants to build the CI/CD automated dream: No PR is merged unless unit-test code coverage percentage increases! https://t.co/JFbjjAqclh Principals…https://t.co/0kZ7G6YnNB

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

@engineyard has now devolved into a calendar spam company. So sad.

[Mike Patnode @mpatnode]

TFW: You're finally ready to write your self-review but ChatGPT is at capacity.
