    Who designed the customer flow? In TFA there is no single issue of actual things that web developers could be blamed for. CSP not mentioned I assume it was correctly configured, si…

    That here. I once worked in a place where a guy would pick on me in code reviews, he wasn't really higher position, but had been with the company longer than I was. He was just an …

    But parent is still correct on "zero percent understandability". I have seen dozens upon dozens of Excel sheets which "just worked" until they didn't and then of course person who …

    That's not just developers as you noted. It is "velocity fallacy" — product people want "all the features ASAP or right away". Until users with their managers come with pitchforks …

    Most annoying on Reddit are people who write about "high yield savings accounts", those might have been there in 80's or 90's but I see right away those people are just LARPINg. 3%…

    so penalties for telcos have to be higher than they earn from scam calls. 2-5% of scams succeed but penalty should be there accounting for 95-98% that did not succeed. IANAL but I …

    I get the comfort that "normal person" would send an SMS "it was me Greg, call me back" if you don't pick up and most of my family is on whatsapp anyway. Scammers or spammers will …

    I have yet another take on that. Each consciousness is a universe on its own. Matter is just how those universes interact with each other. This is how quantum mechanics work in my …

    Do you care about each and every single app you encounter? Maybe you use your 2-10 apps and that’s it? Do you even let’s say — for the excercise sake — use those apps fully, each a…
