Re:Twilio Super SIM on Saturday May 11, 2019 @08:43AM (#19885865)
From a product perspective, this is really confusing.

Twilio make business-facing APIs, is this supposed to be a consumer product? Why would I want API access to my own usage data? This feels like a far cry from their strategic strengths, except for that it’s phone-related.

Re:The anti crunch hours license on Saturday March 30, 2019 @10:10AM (#19529455)
Before this comment section gets any more toxic, please understand the context.

The org on GitHub that developed this license is called 996ICU (https://996.icu/#/en_US). It is a (very large) group of Chinese developers that are upset with the common practice of working 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week.

Please be mindful of the fact that lots of developers around the world work under genuinely awful conditions, and that your (x times y) work week is a privilege earned by a long history of labour activism in the Western world.

(P.S. This is a protest, not a legally binding license)
