This problem is endemic in Stripe. I wanted to enable issuing on my account to test card issuing, but there was a bug where the ui was looping, not allowing me to sign up.
Asked support, got 2 weeks of "we're working on it"'... And finally a "You're using Opal, you can't enable issuing".
They're losing thread fast.

I wasn't aware that Jennifer Shahade got the Grandmaster title.

At Seamless circa 2010 we were asked to make the default sort order for restaurants appear by how close they were to the next tier of the contract. More orders = More Margin.
The tech team at the time was entirely located in Utah at the time, and all of us were repulsed at the idea. We countered with suggestions for improvement and made it clear the project would not be worked on:
- You can make a "promoted" restaurant section above the fold - The UX concerns since users expect some reasonable ordering. Like distance from location or alphabetical.
We didn't get fired, and it was really scary. I appreciate standing up for ethics and principles. bravo.

This is the way. We've given multiple clients very similar stacks for "api layers" and it's by far the most cost effective way to do AWS from both productivity and opex point of view.

A fair question, and we’ve done it this way before at simple.com. When looking at the options for a pay-per use database, with global replication, streams and managed for you; We felt that if you could build a ledger on dynamo for these use cases, it’d be pretty compelling and fun.
