Or Russia? Seems the ability to freeze the assets of a tyrannical regime can come in handy from time to time, no?

Management console went down for us again. 502 service unavailable.

And their support center is down as well, so the offline ticket form is displaying, but prompts for login and fails on submit.

Even their status page was showing a Heroku down page for a bit.

I came here wondering the same thing as I've encountered a handful of availability issues this morning.

Your status page still shows the outage as having been "less than 15 minutes," but it was close to 90 minutes. Will you be updating that to reflect reality?

Was that an airplane joke?

> Don't ask people what they think about your idea. They'll either be supportive or mean to you. None of these are about your idea.

While I agree that some people will be blindly supportive or mean (or will lie as another comment pointed out), it sounds to me that you might be asking the wrong people or you might be allowing ego to taint your perception of their responses.

In my experience, there are plenty of thoughtful, analytical people out there who can help you explore aspects of your idea you might not have considered. Those people, however, will likely only give you their honest assessment if you already have a relationship with them. For me, having a small network of thoughtful individuals that I trust (friends, family, etc) is essential.

In addition, you have to be able to separate your ego from the idea so that you can view criticism of it in an objective way, rather than as simply “mean” (which it might be, but might also contain grains of truth).

This is, of course, no substitute for feedback from actual customers/users, though I would argue that, in the early stages of exploring an idea, it is equally necessary.

I have found that heavy use of mocking tools couples tests tightly to the design, resulting in great difficulty when I need to redactor. To me, the ideal is that I can change my design as I see fit without difficulty. My tests specify what my application does - how it behaves, not how it is structured. In my experience, this entails minimizing the number of points where tests touch production code, i.e. keeping the test suite DRY.

I do use test doubles, including mocks, where things become difficult or slow to test (generally application boundaries). But keep in mind that every line of mocking code costs more than an equivalent line of the alternative.
