@TMobileHelp I’ve just been both in store and on the phone with support, who both said you only keep records for 6 months and there’s nobody with any authority to do anything. Was that not true?

[Melissa Benua 🇺🇦🌻🌻 @queenofcode]

Cool - @TMobile stole my trade in phone, and because they apparently delete all records of support calls after 6 months it was the perfect scam for the support person to tell me ‘wait 3-4 bills to see that it’s fixed’. Is this common carrier practice now?!

@Angler28_ @WSBChairman Weirdly and unexpectedly enough, so is Barbie. 🤷‍♀️

@marypcbuk I know a number of people suffering from exactly that who were previously motivated and excited employees. They’ve seen hits come close to them over and over again - PM on a sibling team, fully remote teammate, etc. Impossible to predict and scary!

The NY court has a hearing on June 14. If you are a Black Googler Level 3-7 who worked in NY from 2017 to 2022, and don’t opt out by July 5 or may be excluded from the case, Curley v. Google. Know your rights and options and decide. https://t.co/fmvFVmBYGb

@clhubes I dunno, looks plausible to me. If you want a reminder of what clothes were in then, watch some episodes of Buffy.

@editingemily Just keeps happening. I worked on a team of rockstars a decade ago, who were all punished because we made some Partner’s pet team look underperforming by comparison (because they were!)

@ypk @ibogost No not yet! Dinner is weirder because of kid palettes. So sometimes we cook, sometimes the kids aren’t hungry and we just do light snacks, etc.

[Melissa Benua 🇺🇦🌻🌻 @queenofcode]

@ibogost I order my lunch meals for the week from Shef. Cheaper than takeout but then I can just microwave an actual delicious meal I didn’t have to cook.

@AutomationPanda @JannaLoeffler Maybe a few pictures…

May the 4th be with you!

Met Gala as monitoring and observability solutions, a 🧵.

Kim Kardashian as Datadog.

Requires investment to get into. Takes active upkeep. Generally worth it, but there are gaps (and the occasional malfunction). Not an easy situation to get out of.

This was a great meet up with some awesome speakers!

My domain renewal saga is finally at an end. I spent 2.5 months, dozens of hours of calls between GoDaddy, Microsoft, and WildWestDomains and got nowhere - each insisted only the other could renew me. File an ICANN complaint though and mysteriously my domain was back in my hands!

@ypk @davidfowl Me too please!!!

[Melissa Benua 🇺🇦🌻🌻 @queenofcode]

@roshanpateI She didn’t owe you her time and attention. Make a more compelling targeted pitch if this specific woman’s interest means so much to you that you’re still sore about it two years later.

@reshmasaujani We live only a half mile from school and two blocks from the bus stop, but there���s no sidewalk on my street… my kids have to walk on the somewhat busy road to get anywhere.

@ypk @amir @DeepMind Holy crap I do! It was such bullshit. Hilarious to see it turned back on Google now.
