Just came here to say sorry everybody. I remember throwing in some rudimentary XSS tests with the expectation of adding more later, but it looks like maybe that never happened. #CanvasHack #MoveFastandBreakThings

@CatB99261688 I think you have me confused with someone else, but I can tell you that's an AI video ✌️

@HippyHeather13 I do try not to be, sorry everyone 🫤

Happy 11th birthday CoughDrop!

The initial commit (https://t.co/nIbpG8X2pm) had the comment "closes #6988138" as a reference to the not-yet-invalidated patent that Bb was using to sue their biggest competitor, but for PR they publicly promised not to sue any OSS projects.

Happy Birthday @Instructure! 17 years and 68,636 commits later @Canvas_by_Inst is still open source! I never expected it to get this big or last this long as my first professional coding project... They've clean out all my bugs by now, right?

Happy 10th Birthday, @coughdropaac!

Remembering the time @Canvas_by_Inst where we crashed @Blackboard #bbworld11 conference in Vegas at the Venetian. Booked the bar right in the same hallway as their event and held a party for their customers. One of my favorite t-shirts we gave out to their customers.

@amazon any way we can request a different style of box for our deliveries? Our kids keep telling us how disappointed they are with the new campaign, and our sharpies are running low. I'd order a new pack but don't want to trigger an infinite recursion..

[Brian Whitmer @whitmer]

@hardrockbus I like babies, actually.

[Brian Whitmer @whitmer]

@Instructure thinking of you today, 15 can be a hard age, I'm here if you're ready to talk ❤️

@nachorevolution Nobody can say I'm not student-centered.

[Brian Whitmer @whitmer]

BREAKING: Canvas has a definitely legit bug in like the US probably? that says students have left the quiz page mid-quiz when they totally haven't been doing that thing. In other news, I haven't turned my sprinklers on, so it may be hard to get any forks in.

[Brian Whitmer @whitmer]

@gnb Ha, when I read it my mind actually auto-completed to "I will fork ur repo" at first.
