Apparently we're all expected to somehow know that "Granola notes" is a summary of the conversation.

Who are the Volcano Group, mystery saboteurs behind a five-day Berlin blackout?

What a weird comment. Given that you clearly don't use YouTube, why did you feel the need to engage?

What does "While EmDash aims to be compatible with WordPress functionality" mean?

"the effort involved"

Feels like your comment saying it was too much effort to cancel Kagi took more effort than cancelling Kagi.

So just to check, instead of doing something you were told to, that you know is a stupid idea (after telling all concerned it's a dumb idea and being told to go ahead anyway, eg adding a crapton of video to a page), you would just resign, to protect your personal integrity?

It's not a sign of their incompetence, it's a sign of the realities of many corporate environments.

But hey, if you want to rail against incompetent developers who exist in a make-believe world where they hold all the power are simply too lazy and incompetent to 'do the right thing' then go ahead!

What?

Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic language systems don't use capital letters. They manage to parse the boundaries of sentences and thoughts just fine.

Couching nonsense in faux-politeness just makes you look even more googly-eyed.

Luckily in these situations it's likely that huge tax costs will be pushed onto private cars. Sign me up to that

Honestly, you really should seek professional help, you're so far adrift from reality? What happened? How did you end up like this?

They're absolutely not assholes. People who expect the world to revolve around them and cater for their every whim are probably more deserving of that title.
