@phparth It's not even bringing the file back. Does a git log and git show to read the file.

Opus's eagerness is kinda annoying. I had scorecard.md file that wasn't working out well. I had removed it, but it existed in git history. New sessions still manage to do a Git log , find the file and use it. It's deleted in HEAD for a reason.

@jeff_weinstein I get a "we're not in your region yet" error when trying to link Link to Instinct. I'm in India, but I have been using Stripe Link for a while now. (ex-Stripe here 👋)

Once there was a sudden drop in Payments volume by 35%. There was no visible failure internally. Twitter alert has some users reporting Payments page not loading for them on a then up and coming mobile network. Because of this, we cut the incoming traffic by ISP and Eureka!

Technically you can get same from the CS tickets. But, most orgs have layers of systems+ access control (for good measure) between CS system and the end product team. Data on Twitter was open and easily accessible then.

One of the highest leverage things I had when I was in payments team at Flipkart was to set up Twitter alert for "flipkart payment" to my email. 2015-2017. It was less noisy than I expected and had helped me catch issues that would have gone under the radar otherwise.

Stripe's product roadmap for Q3 2026 requires 9 pages of pagination: stripe.com/roadmap Love that they build in public like this. What a sign of extreme confidence.

The ROOT OF TRUST of any exam is the teachers who set the question paper. We trust them for their integrity and honesty. As per reports in media regarding NEET paper leak, it is pointing to the question paper setters who are involved in the scam. Again it is disturbing to note
