Feels like a bonus to me.

If I click Join I am immediately redirected to a "Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access doge.gov" CloudFlare page. That's odd.

"Where's my new server gone? ... oh, it's hanging out in us-east-1, damnsit."

Avoid them for ethical reasons too.

Problem is, sometimes you don't need the best-world-class coders, you need cheaper coders to align a button.

I think a lot of devs go through a "I'll just store code in the DB and evaluate at runtime!" phase. Some of them never get through it though.

We had this, but HR moved so slowly that the (good) guy that was fired was still there when the new guy arrived.

That feeling when you ask a question, they go "uhhhhh", in the background you can hear mechanical keys clattering, and suddenly they can give a textbook definition.

We used to use a VCS called Borland (yeah, Delphi Borland) StarTeam, which was basically the exact same flow. Luckily for us they audited us at some point, decided we were using too many licences, and insisted we triple our monthly expense or stop using StarTeam - that was the incentive to persuade business to let us slow down dev for a bit while we changed to Git.

My web client was behaving waaay better than my desktop client on this issue.

It improved suddenly in the third season, I was about to give up.

Wait, people aren't breathing through noses?
