I'm still getting requests from former colleagues to explain the code of another colleague because the "chinese students the boss hired don't get it". I'm not surprised at all. Code from hell.
When using data.stackexchange.com I fail to remember if as [post link] is the correct alias to get the url for the post. Luckily the site has an help link. Unfortunately it is now broken.
Can this be fixed?
On /users/login when selecting the Stackexchange login leaving username and password empty and click on login the message 'email is cannot be empty' appears which is good. Not good is the closimng of the dialog ending up in this UX.
Can the dialog stay open when an error message is shown?

@rene If I can find nothing better to do with my time.
I've just found two on English Language & Usage, for flip's sake! I'll edit those, anyway. And perhaps gradually get to the others over the coming weeks.
@JeroenVannevel Edits by people with less than 2000 rep don't go through immediately (unless they're on their own posts, or on community wiki posts). They go into a review queue instead.
@JeroenVannevel It was a valid edit. look that the revisions: stackoverflow.com/posts/21148547/revisions All he did was a rollback on the title. Which is fine (to me at least)
Do people these days still user pen and paper to actually try and debug their little problems, or am I just weird? (Well, not that those two options are mutually exclusive) Far too often I'm wondering why the OP did not just try a couple of simple examples to see what happens.
Hi! -- I was about to make a feature request on meta, when I realized it's so trivial it must have been asked before: Show the author of a comment in the notification / inbox. But my google-fu failed me, could anyone be so kind and give me some hints what to search for?
I would like to see who left a comment in my global inbox like this:
(Except, of course, I would like the actual commentor's name, not "The Person Who Left The Comment".)
Could this be considered, or possibly even implemented?
I am aware the the Bitcoin site has its own Meta, but that meta was last active on the 6th of January so am posting here also.
I'm more of a lurker on Bitcoin Stack Exchange than an actual user, but I was lurking (like I do) and I spotted these guys:

@LaszloPapp How many flags do you have all total? If you have less than 100/day (the max), you can earn more flags for 10 more valid-invalid flags, and you get that on the day they're deemed valid.
I was strolling through the 10k queue today, and I happened upon a particular answer that was unworthy of existence. It was a disaster! Luckily, a noble "flag" link rushed up to save the day. I quickly clicked on it to flag as "Not an Answer," and it was all fine until then.
Suddenly, suprised b...
Since we got minitech as a mod (yay!), lots of people have been getting review banned (and rightfully so).
Many of these people come to Meta to complain/ask about it. When they do, they seem to be thrown off by the current reason that shows up:
