Yeah, that makes a lot of sense if they need answers right on the call and not followups later on.

It's definitely a use case that's pretty common. I've been in post-sales/tech support most of my career but it's a similar battle. Leads to a lot of waste of technical resource time. Though I think probably being able to point as much as possible to documentation is probably where I would start.
I remember when I was 10 years old at a computer camp during the summer at a local college. They had me set up my first email account with hotmail. They all asked us to lie about our age. I think even then they had restrictions that you had to be 13 years old.

But - that was over 25 years ago. The internet was a much different place.

What's the Future of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Software?

With more and more tools using cert pinning as a best practice (eg - having and maintaining their own cert keystore) and more and more companies requiring DLP software for their vendors - how can this be managed without causing enormous pain for software developers?As DLP software currently works to essentially man-in-the-middle attack secure traffic; any cert pinned tool will fail without...

Re:Twilio Flex outage now 6 hours after laying off 28% staff on Friday February 17, 2023 @03:06PM (#34839767)
My old employer used twilio extensively for allowing the employees of customers to do automated clockouts/clockins. They seemed like a dumpster fire of a company to work with but that they had telephony figured out made them hard to dislodge from the market.

> My team is all over the world. Am I supposed to drive 4 hours to the nearest office to sit in a meeting room for a remote meeting?

I wondered about this too. My previous role (before the pandemic) I went into the office daily and almost everyone I met with/worked with was in other locations - even if they weren't remote themselves. There was almost no point for me to go to the office but I did anyway as that was the expectation.

Does this mean people need to move to where your team is supposed to be located? OR if you have an office nearby but none of your team is there that you need to go to that office?

I interviewed for a role with at Amazon a pretty distributed remote team (didn't get it tho :\ ) so I wonder how this would work in practice? Just driving to an office to sit in remote meetings seems very silly and a waste of everyone's time.

I definitely remember those awful days in the 90s. Escape Velocity made them less painful though :p
It's certainly a different apple. Having been a Mac user for 30 years on and off It's definitely more organized than the Spindler era and less hopeless than the Amelio era.

Jobs II helped set the stage and Tim is a great execution guy.

Jokingly you could probably split this into engineers that use xml vs those that use json. I've worked in both types of companies.
