@AskCapitalOne Spent over an hour on the phone with support yesterday getting bounced from rep to rep to try and figure out why I am unable to use virtual cards on my new Spark Cash Select business credit card. Nobody had an answer or a solution for me. Need to get this resolved.

@jlongster The way they handled the transition from YNAB 4 to YNAB 5 was super lame and always rubbed me the wrong way. They act like they invented the concept of envelope budgeting.

Still going strong with Actual since 2018!

@mrobbeloth @shanselman Whew I thought I was the only one. Haven’t been able to sleep/hibernate my work machine in years. Know if this bug is being tracked anywhere?

@oxidecomputer @davidcrespo @Zephraph FYI, that invite link is invalid.

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

@ChristianSelig Could you post it somewhere else as well so I don’t have to visit Reddit?

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

@ag_dubs Did you ever figure out exactly which account scoped role means essentially "read-only on CF Pages projects so that developers can read failed build logs but can't accidentally delete my entire DNS zone"?

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

@dan_abramov This is a great way to describe what I love about having built our design system with Tailwind and React. v0 is messy, components and styles all over the place but it works. Then as the patterns emerge we can iterate towards cleanliness and order.

@zg_dev Any way to force the new site? Looks like I’m in the control group. 😂

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

@jsoverson @1Password You should check out Bitwarden. Open source and inexpensive paid plans but option to self-host. UX isn't as polished as 1Password but as a utility it's more than acceptable.

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

@chancethedev Agreed. I just introduced a friend to "Phoebe Cates" the other day because we were talking about Fast Times and he had never heard it.

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

If you are a tech recruiter and you're really hoping I'll reply to your unsolicited emails, this is probably not the tactic I would choose.

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

@joonas_fi @Tailscale Agreed, the copy is easily half the vibe. Just a great authentic experience.

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

Of all the amazing things we experienced when setting up @Tailscale, soft plan limits was maybe the one we underappreciated the most. This is a great feature for this product specifically (let us evaluate before committing to anything), but also just a great idea in general.

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

Super curious what goes on behind the scenes with this feature because it sends my product mind spinning with possibilities. Builds initial trust with the user. Built-in lead generation. So much upgrade anxiety friction eliminated. I love it and wish more products did this.

@thunk_life Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on the docs. Fool me three times? Oh, shit I read that wrong, actually shame on me.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

The dumbest thing I hear is “Facebook listens to your conversations”

My coworkers were a bunch of risk-averse MBAs who’d never build something that cool.

So why do you see ads for something you talked about? It’s because your life is predictable & the ad algorithm is that good.

[Jeremy Weir @JeremyWeir]

Thankful that my 2 daughters get to experience the power of sports because of the countless women that paved the way.

Let’s celebrate how far we’ve come and commit to the rest!!

@marknadig I'm a big fan of @heyhey. I don't use their custom domain option, but I'm on year 2 of their personal plan and love the service. Looks like custom domains are twice as expensive as g-suite but the tradeoff IMO is that your email content isn't also part of the deal.😉

[Scott Mathson @smathson]

@jstew1974 @jlongster Definitely. “You’re dumb because you used/didn’t use a tool to solve a problem I never had any exposure to.” Makes no sense. No two problems are the same. That’s why we get paid to solve them.
