@Discovery_SA you know that your latest bank apl update gets stuck at "contact permissions" screen in an infinite load. (Why on earth is this a compulsory blocking step?) can't access the app/bank accounts at all... 🤬

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

Turns out, if a social platform lets people pay for a premium profiles & promote their content over others... You get flooded by people who WANT to amplify extreme views and drown out the middle. interesting, agandaless posts also get swamped.

I'm @rogernort on that other app

i enjoyed this very nuanced perspective on a very practical, but still exciting, future of powerful AI could look like

@MorolongZA @FNBSA @AbsaSouthAfrica Check out Discovery if you fly often. Skipping that queue (and the lounges) is totally underrated. Also, it's probably time to leave the legacy banks in the history where they belong...

@DeveloperNathan Apparently so

The richest guy in the world (who runs 5+ companies and a political campaign) being top 20 globally in Diablo 4 says more about how it's pay-to-play than any brilliance on his part. #JustSaying

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

@DeveloperNathan I was just making a comment about Diablo4... 😬

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

@DarrelFrater I'd love to chat to them about @letsokhi...

@VALRdotcom your device verification emails aren't getting sent and it's blocking me from logging in... 😬 (I tried 3x over 20mins and checked spam.)

@SimplyAzodo Check out https://t.co/rjHYvbWkG8 leveraging AI to spin out a full set of user stories.

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

But locking baskets to user over addresses is not it.

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

@Sixty60_Tweets love the app overhaul and general improvements, but how do you still not have shared shopping list functionality? And why are your accounts by user not household?

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

That behavior would help my wife and I in the CBD, but also allow parents to share grocery orders with their kids. I could review my mom’s order, add flowers and pay. An office can have a shared list that the admin person auths. So much potential…

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

@wizaj There has been a fair bit of movements at the CBN and pressure from the NSA to tighten up processes and traceability for AML. It’s been a long time coming since the greylisting and big wheels move slow.

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

@VusiThembekwayo I'll see you in the airport lounge!

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

@natiakourdadze OkHi makes addresses useful again for financial services.

[Princess Akari🌸💗 @thekitoye]

@peopleinproduct now has a private and exclusive channel for product leaders and industry experts in PMgt.💃🎉

We’re focused on keeping the initial group small for obvious reasons.

If you’re a senior PM, product leader or you know someone, DM me for the link to fill the form!🙏

It's 💩 all the way down...

🤦Every single wallpaper is sitting in a public bucket

[Roger Norton @rogernort]

I can't help but think that the MKBDH app is the perfect example of the 💩 generated by AI code. Turns out you'll need professional software devs for a while still...
