I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”

Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.

You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.

Sorry for your loss.

Couldn’t agree more. Good message, but pontificating as hell.

Nm I’m dumb. It’s under the “Digital Archive” on their site.

Hmmm… I found an old magazine in their listings, but can’t for the life of me find out how to read it.

FLUSH THE TOILET AFTER YOU’VE HAD A SHIT

You may be joking, but as long as you’re actually good at what you do, being a dickhead can be a winning strategy.

I’ve never been able to do it myself, but know many who have.

Great perspective and approach. If someone like you even has a modicum of emotional intelligence, they’d be one of the best leads I’ve ever seen.

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing

The scalability is my concern too. It took me like 8 days after I signed up before I got my login to Loops.

Gotta say I really like it, though

“One pull for each coffee you buy.” And it’s like a collectibles game for each of the donut flavors.

That shape is “round”?

…And they didn’t care about that last part until recently…

Chemical weapon, maybe.

Not OP but I have the same stance that none of my TVs will connect to the internet.

It was going well until my in-laws watched our home and ended up connecting our Vizio tv all they could watch Netflix…

It updated the firmware and now the volume controls are all messed up.

This comment checks out; can confirm this if how conning works

Found a funny one of an Eastern European kid in blue shorts spinning himself around to make himself dizzy. I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid.

Then YouTube started blocking the videos because it thought I was a bot:/

This article sounds a bit like a press release, but the documentation for the tool itself looks good.

“Twenty” seems a little basic so far, but “Salesforce” is such a far-reaching platform it would be hard to compete across the whole landscape. Salesforce’s CRM functionality is a lot easier to copy tho.

I think the more valuable features of a platform like Salesforce are the WYSIWYG automation builder and the fact that it’s running on someone else’s processor (cloud-based). Excel only has VBA, Macros, or writing out functions for building automation and then slows your computer down to a crawl to execute them.

Of course I know him: he’s me!
