at least you managed to sign up to MS. Many people can't even get that done in MS websites.
Re:Bill Gates tries to install MovieMaker on Monday September 07, 2026 @02:59PM (#49601728)
Just last week, I was trying to sign up to Microsoft.com and got stuck in the captcha step. They have famously dysfunctional captcha system, people can't sign up to Microsoft and complain a lot about it online, and yet, it's not fixed.

Microsoft always built dysfunctional software. They were never good at this. Hotmail was an unusable product, it was so painful to use it and Gmail took over the entire market in a year. Nobody ever said: "oh, I miss X about Hotmail"

Windows products were also same. They were so easy to break, you'd need to format the disk and re-install once a month, otherwise it'd keep breaking all the time.

Mitte (https://mitte.ai) | Berlin | ONSITE | Full-Time

Mitte is an AI creative suite. We've built our own media agent and we're hiring engineers who want this to be the best work of their career.

Founded by an ex-Superhuman lead engineer. Lean startup and unix philosophy run deep at Mitte. We ship every day and like to design systems, be thoughtful about patterns and primitives before scaling the codebase, especially with AI.

We're hiring:

- Backend Engineer (Elixir, Go) — own services end-to-end, from agent orchestration to the systems that move media at scale.

- Full-Stack Engineer (Go, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit) — build the surfaces creators actually use. Strong design taste and obsession with detail expected.

Berlin, on-site. We work in the same room because the product is moving too fast for anything else.

Reach out: [email protected] — tell us something you've built that you're proud of, and why it was hard. Berlin based applications only.

Re:Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @10:03AM (#47779108)
this is incredible.
Re:Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @09:55AM (#47675455)
We had severe issues with Bunny and recently migrated off it.

Some of our users were unable to reach our CDN altogether. They couldn't load any assets at all. Bunny's customer service was far too slow to respond and mostly gave unhelpful answers. They couldn't even identify the issue.

In less than 45 minutes, I moved our CDN entirely from Bunny to Cloudflare Workers. Now our CDN just actually works, I don't have to debug our CDN for the Bunny customer service team.

Also, this is obviously a marketing post.

Interesting monologs here. I wish you best in this, have a nice day!

Re:Left-Pad (2024) on Wednesday June 11, 2025 @02:17PM (#44250294)
Interesting choice of vocabulary combined with complete BS presented like facts.

This is all documented in Wikipedia accurately:

NPM had written rules and they violated their own rules for Kik. I asked them to remove all my packages. They gave me a script to run. The process took about a week, it was not sudden or unexpected.

When I realized it had the impact we saw after the unpublish, I gave away all my packages immediately, other devs took ownership of the packages and re-publish. Everything was back to normal within hours.

BS -- What's your familiarity with what you're talking about?

> Many people lean more on reason and logic.

Yes, when theres's no impulse strong enough to outweigh reasoning. You don't need Ghazali for this, Kant also explains it. Before suggesting that I rephrase things, I think you should explore the domain first.

Re:Left-Pad (2024) on Wednesday June 11, 2025 @12:05PM (#44249042)
It seems like you really got triggered by something about it and can't move on, hope you find out and resolve. Have a nice day
