<p>I have been on the 'receiving' end of such persons actions. We had one guy who worked probably 50% of his time on using 
 not F#, but another "nice" thing. It never worked well and he spent an incredible amount of time patching it and fixing issues with it. I threw it out the day after and replaced it with some older boring technology, and the problems just went away.</p>

<p>Is anyone "signing off" on the deploys or is it fully automatic? I can't really imagine it being manual 40 times per day, but just wanted to hear.<p>How do you handle the scenario that some developer pushes a send_me_all_the_credit_card_details() function to the code base which does something 'evil'? Do you rely on the reviewer "doing their works properly" to handle that?<p>I'm not saying formal "signing off"-steps in processes handle it, but some companies does them for that reason.</p>

<p>Some of the issues I have had with the new design is pretty amazing. For example, when you open a specific submission it's opened in a "lightbox" which basically contains all the comment. If you click outside of the lightbox it's automatically closed which I guess is OK. So some time ago they made a new release and broke it so that if you clicked on the scrollbar to scroll down in the lightbox to see what people had commented then the lightbox with all the comments closed.<p>I submitted some complaint in their redesign subreddit but immediately random people replied to say that this was as designed and I should use keyboard to scroll, and not the scrollbar. But then the issue was that when the lightbox was shown it wasn't focused so I first had to use mouse to click in the lightbox to focus it and then use keyboard arrows to scroll.<p>Such a joke. Amateurs.</p>

<p>If there was another vote to reverse the Brexit-decision and people voted for that in majority, you could stop the madness and accept the results. Things change. Being stubborn is rarely the best option.</p>

<p>> Then, how do you recover?<p>In case this is not a rethorical question: Using the backup codes or a copy of the barcode you printed.<p>Regardless of what method you use I assume you want a secure backup method.<p>> but you can get a new sim<p>Maybe easily if you are a private person and happen to lose the phone in your home country during opening hours. I tried this method once but the company just forwarded me to the internal helpdesk of the company I work for (this is a good thing, but previously they issued SIM cards to me). Got a sim like a week later.</p>

<p>Maybe it's just me but my experience is that except for the actual streaming (after you started to watch a movie), the Netflix UI is super bad. It recommends movies which I hate, it shows series which have been on Netflix for years under "New on Netflix", it doesn't provide any usable sorting, the searching is crap and so on. I would put zero faith in a statement by Netflix saying that something is "useless". The actual streaming experience is super good but when it comes to everything else they seem clueless to me.</p>

<p>I probably misunderstand but why not just install an SMTP+IMAP server and add RoundCube/SquirreMail or similar? This should take like 15 minutes to do.<p>Since you talk about phpBB it sounds like you just want something users can log on to and do it, not necessarily tightly integrated in something else.<p>I feel like I'm missing something.</p>

<p>Yes. In my view, obvious names makes it easier to remember what something is or does. Understanding what Azure DNS do is easier than finding out and remembering what AWS Route 52 does.</p>
