My primary email address is somehow flagged globally on Stripe, so I have to use an alternative to get any payment to go through regardless of what card I use: whatever@domain.com causes the payment to fail, but whatever+1@domain.com works.

One of the things I wanted to do was understand who our customer was. They had really no idea. Waivers are all digitalized and ask for the basics: name, date of birth, where you're from, emergency contact. I use a "gender API&quot

Thanks! We get a lot of compliments on the copy. I wanted to reflect that we are indeed a Mexican horse ranch without the site being incredibly boring. There's only so many cool things you can show/say before you realize that hors

It's definitely my favorite fun fact. I'm grow up in the city but I spent a few summer days on a horse growing up. One of my earliest memories was horseback riding with my mom. I must have been no older than 18 months.

It's mostly CRUD, and the stack is very boring: Rails/Hotwire/Bootstrap, about 10k lines (we have apps for the staff on the ground, agents and agencies that we partner with, and some other stuff in there). The tricky part of

During COVID I was in Mexico. At some point I wanted to go horseback riding. I was researching places to go horseback riding and I was not at all surprised to see I would have to make some calls to book. Fast-forward a few weeks, I become p

The weirdest thing about Albedo is that their header image was taken with a commercially-available drone, at least according to the file name: https://assets.website-files.com/5fd162c9db04e672a0b0e2b7/60... You think y

The second shop was definitely outsourced. The first was probably a mix of both. Regardless it shouldn't have happened.

Oh good, abused via an API. /s Over the last 24 months, I have seen some weird increasing rate of vulnerable API endpoints in my own research. One of which would allow a bad actor direct access to over $2BB in funds (from a major organ

My mom called me "it" for the first two weeks after I was born. She wasn't sure on a name. Exception not the rule, but made me giggle reading your comment.

It’s really quite fun. Maddening at times, but fun. For me, back in the day, it was about power: I wanted a Trash Can Pro for development (I had a fully-specced retina MacBook Pro) but I didn’t want to pay Apple tax; I already had a gaming

Over the summer I got into genealogy — my partner tasked me with finding her biological parents. I did, and afterward, I took a DNA test of my own only to discover that my mom failed to tell me something (she passed away a few years ago): w

I feel like we're missing something. Parents are on the hook for $250M if he dips. Judge had to have looked at their financials and had some assurances that they'd be able to pay this right?
