May we all become wise enough to know when not to use a particular tool, and experienced enough to know how to use them all expertly.

Update Thu May 15 2025: GitHub has released a temporary stopgap remediation by increasing the accessible package limit to 1000 for team members who are not organizational admins. We should be good for another year or so under those limits. Ideally, they'll get a chance to remedy

The story of how @Microsoft has exposed our organization to a security crisis: We've discovered a 500-package limit for @github packages for any user other than an organizational admin. As a result, only people with organizational admin privileges can install all packages.

More organizational beheadings for lousy software would do the industry some good. There’s no justification for doing things so poorly, other than gross negligence.

Adoption of Passkeys might have gone so much better if vendors had taken any time to explain to consumers what they are, how they work, how they differ from passwords, what happens to their passwords, the effect on their use of password wallets, and what they mean for security.

Eventide's Schema library introduces a new protocol for attribute type checking with version 2.5.0.0, and the declarative strict mode of attribute type checking is no longer supported: https://t.co/6seamEiP7U

The staggering stupidity of software workers at @Ticketmaster to presume that these are reasonable asks at all (and yes, I'm logged in to my Ticketmaster account). If you know a developer who works at Ticketmaster, please smack them for me. Hard. I mean really, really hard. Maybe

Indeed. PS: Same can be applied to The Big Rewrite (whether it’s program code being re-written, or social code)

“Oh, your title is software engineer? That’s nice, now can you go engineer some border-radius on that login button?”

The conflict resolution UX in @TripIt is so bad, I assume it's done as an explicit, recreational "fuck you" to TripIt's users fromn socipathic managers at TripIt who enjoy the idea of imposing a struggle onto the users. Nothing in the conflict UI is actually a path to the

I've been trying to reschedule a @Delta flight for days on their website. The website has a defect that denies me the ability to change flights. I've been on the phone with their customer service drones for an hour. The first one just transferred me to a survey which then

Delta's reservation system has been rendered inoperable for a subset of customers. Their IT developers have introduced a number of defects known to their customer service people in a recent set of "updates". Here's what I'd do as Delta's CEO: 1-) Start at the CTO, and start

Captcha: the black-out bingo version 😐. Enough with the captcha already!! Half of the sites using captcha aren't even interesting bot attack targets.

Being able to differentiate between popularity and prosperity will keep you out of a lot of trouble. You'll almost never hear from or hear about prosperous people. They're busy working on prosperity. You'll always hear from popular people. Their work is to make you hear from
