They saved others, but they couldn’t save themselves.[1]

This is a really cool tool! I wanted to ask - you mention HAR files - how do you ensure tokens and secrets don’t end up in them / stored on your end or anywhere else they may end up?
The Genius Bar also takes forever to get appointments at now compared to how it was. I think they maintained close to the same number of retail locations as their customer base exploded, which probably works out better economically but is far less convenient.
This sounds a little too much like what happened in Sri Lanka[0]. Is now a great time to go messing with food supply anywhere? Pricing and availability is VERY out of wack in my part of the US still.
What I've found is that normally, the consumer - restaurant contract is between two parties. I pay food, I get to eat. If there's a problem, I tell the restaurant, and they fix it. There's ample opportunity to find an amicable resolution to any issues that arise.
When you add DoorDash or any other third party delivery service into the equation, you add two more parties to this - the service itself, and the driver, who is usually an independent contractor.
What this has led to in my experience is that when something goes wrong, instead of me working it out with the restaurant, I am left frustrated, hungry, and hung out to dry by three parties - the restaurant, the platform, and the contractor.
If you read enough of the DoorDash subreddit[1], you realize that a tip is not a gratuity for good service, it's a bid for an independent contractor to take up your delivery. However, you have no ability to choose which Dasher takes it, and they are under no obligation to represent you as your agent or look out for your interests. So if they show up and the food is cold, not their problem, they get the tip because they accepted the bid.
When DoorDash had a major outage some time back, I had placed an order for about $70, generous tip (because I realize it's really a bid) and fees included. My order was prepared and ready for pick up just as the whole platform went down. It was impossible to cancel my order, because DoorDash was down, so I made alternate arrangements for dinner and figure I'll reach out for a refund when things are back up.
About three hours later, I get a notification that my order is out for delivery. The optimist in me hoped that the restaurant saw that some food sat out in the "danger zone" for several hours and remade it, or that the Dasher realized that the containers weren't the slightest bit warm, or something like that, but nope. I got dropped off a lot of food that was beyond safe to eat, not even worth saving to have as leftovers for a later meal, and now I have to dispose of all of it.
When I finally got through to support later that night, I asked for a refund, and they said they could only give me a credit for the meal, not the tip. I said I want the whole order refunded to my original payment, they said well, here's a credit and it will convert over to that later. One week and several phone calls later, they stopped telling me it was "too late to get a refund" and I got my refund and uninstalled the app. I don't need that negative energy in my life.
I host several sites on Netlify and will likely move the one that doesn’t qualify for free tier over to another provider.
I like their service but I paid for analytics for a while through them and didn’t find it worthwhile, so I will probably not want to pay for the one site that needs it when I can host elsewhere for cheaper now.
The builder we used builds to spec and then you buy the house minus the initial deposit in full. He’s not a fan of doing customer-originated/owned construction loans, which is fair, I believe a good number of builders in our area operate the same way.
We are waiting for the contract addendum with final pricing. It may still make financial sense to go through with everything, once we have all that. It’s just annoying that in this situation, our house costs are fixed against a particular point in time, but interest rates continue to rise.
We are locked in to new construction that keeps getting delayed. Every couple weeks our payments go up as interest rates rise and there’s nothing we can do. It’s brutal.
A few years ago (2016-2017 maybe?) I ordered a pair of underwear from several of these brands, like Saxx, MeUndies, 2undr, and Calvin Klein. After some time passed and I had given them all a fair shot, I ordered like ten pairs of my favorite one and I have never regretted it. Only one has not survived to this day and they’re still wicked comfortable.
