I worked on a project where the client wanted to switch to Authorize.net from Stripe midway through because of Stripe’s cost. From a developer perspective, it was a lot more miserable to work with than Stripe. Other projects I’ve worked on have had a similar motivation for not using Stripe.

Annoyingly, the cost of implementing the replacement and getting it working with React Native (which involved creating native modules for iOS and Android) ended up costing them as much as several years of fees. Also the client was a startup that went bust, so they never really got the value out of it that they hoped.

The hospital basement is such a creepy level, and the rat king was terrifying.

With remote working becoming so prevalent the thought has crossed my mind about what it might be like to start a new job without having much contact with most people who work there.

Seems like it would be harder to become friends with coworkers, or easy feel isolated in your work (particularly outside of software development).

This probably isn’t entirely the point you were trying to make with that sentence, but I feel like reading a book about an issue instead of trying to inform yourself through doomscrolling social media will actually do more to being an informed and empowered person.

I usually get them when I open a Reddit link on Google on iOS.
