Work JIRA gives us all of the options and none of the configuration. One workflow, not adjustable. 12 billion resolution selection options (roughly), not filterable.

I get why from a megacorp management perspective, but as a user? Sort of the worst of both worlds.

We’ll make it work.

The sort of folks that follow me probably don’t need to be told this, but stay the hell away from the new google pay. Thought it was just a rebranding and now gotta wait ~48 hours for verification before I can access funds.

“We need to verify more details.”

You’re Google. You know who I am, if only because I’ve used your dang services for a decade plus. This sudden air of responsibility is unconvincing.

So I was able to get at the funds from the new google pay to transfer to my bank account eventually, but that was way too many clicks to get from A to B.

It’s like Google’s trying to be venmo but with more ads. Getting G+ flashbacks at the “google catch-up” vibe here.
