Re:Will Spotify Ruin Podcasting? on Monday February 10, 2020 @04:47AM (#22287697)

Re:When a rewrite isn’t: rebuilding Slack on the desktop on Tuesday July 23, 2019 @01:08AM (#20504548)
The sheer amount of salt in the medium comments because of Electron is astounding. Never had any memory hog issues with Slack. Have been using it extensively for over 2 years now. Works fine on my 2010 laptop as well!
Re:Building the New Twitter.com on Friday July 19, 2019 @01:00AM (#20476294)
Never used twitter. Just made an account using work email to test twitter login. Didn't do a single thing yet. And my account gets blocked for 'suspicious activity' and they want my phone as well. What a shady company.
Re:“10x engineers”: Stereotypes and research on Monday July 15, 2019 @01:54AM (#20438490)

Re:As Uber Prepares to Go Public, Its Lead Lawyer Races to Clean It Up on Tuesday March 05, 2019 @12:27AM (#19308310)
I had the opposite experience. Uber has customer support built into the App. I was also billed twice and just followed the instructions in App that created a ticket. Got my money back in 2 days.
