@M.A.R. that the friend is actually... an alien?

@ShadowTheKidWizard no silly. That the friend is spiderman

@M.A.R. hey! Not anyone in that position is spiderman, it's spider-cist.

@mousetail just for you, saving 100 baby turtles:

:D

@JourneymanGeek Wondering if you're OK with carrying out this tag merge request.

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog apparently I'm a little distracted today - could you flag the post and we'll review shortly? (also include that I asked, its really one of those days :D)

@ShadowTheKidWizard well thanks for the early morning shock 😄 the global inbox doesn't prepend the @balpha for replies, so this made it look like the bug is back

@ShadowTheKidWizard You are a hero

@balpha ROFL!! Well not my intention, but hey, pure gold. :P

Just wanted to drag you in here. ;)

I consider myself dragged then.

So, what's up? You still in same team inside SE? @balpha

@balpha my pleasure, and no worry, I do it to the best of the best only. :D

(aka those I know (?) won't get angry ;))

@ShadowTheKidWizard On the same team as before I left? No, I was on the design team as a UX engineer until 2019. I'm now on the Content pod of the Teams team (although we've been on a sidequest to do some tech debt payback ever since I came back, so there hasn't been much "content" work).

@mousetail blush

@balpha no content, only discontent? :D

though, tech debt payback is always good

yeah, especially because a lot of it is my fault 😁

@balpha heh. Meant since you returned, yeah. "do some tech debt payback" can take, well, forever, as there's always piling of new things to do. Question is, are you fine with that? What is "Content pod" anyway?! ;)

So.. job security? :D

@balpha chat bugs?! (praying)

@ShadowTheKidWizard I'd argue that if the folks understood the platform is never actually finished, there's probably less tech debt, as long as its polish and maintainance and not rebuild all the things

@JourneymanGeek from experience, boss and the upper chain always find new tasks to do, all with "urgent", "super urgent", "do it now!!!1!", etc.

@balpha wait, what's the "2311" number in blue? Amount of mod flags?

yep

ohhh it's on SO, so figures.

Thought it's on MSE then saw the rep. ;)

No dark mode for you? @balpha

nope, light mode foreva!

@balpha huh! I just followed the trend with my IDE, then also enabled it on SO. :)

lol

MSE usually dosen't get over a dozen

and that's partially cause some flags might 'need' to be handled later

@JourneymanGeek I know that's why I was baffled at first

@JourneymanGeek yup, like my poor flag asking to feature the Saves announcement. ;)

@ShadowTheKidWizard and it will be, eventually :D

Ambassadors no longer featured, so it should rest in peace now. :P

Wonder if the score is the reason for un-featuring, or if it was planned anyway.

Well - people are aware of it now?

@JourneymanGeek two weeks of full exposure, so yeah, probably.

lol just got spam SMS with only "Have a nice weekend, drive carefully". Another item to the Block List of the phone...

Over 200 by now...

Most of them are for selling drugs, with links to Telegram groups.

@ShadowTheKidWizard Might be because the blog post on it is up now?

or...podcast, I guess, not really a blog post.

@RyanM well there is also blog post, but yeah saw they featured the project in the latest podcast.

\o

@ShadowTheKidWizard I switched my IDE to dark mode a few years ago, after I had left SO. But when I came back, seeing the Stack Overflow codebase in light-on-dark felt so incredibly foreign to me, while it was instantly back to familiar in dark-on-light. That's why I now have Visual Studio in light mode but VS Code and Sublime in dark mode. The human mind is weird.

lol :D

@Feeds why the onebox input is the worst input

LOL

@balpha I know it's you ;)

BTW, is this the author?

@balpha well while you're here, just to let you know, onebox really needs your love, it's slowly but surely dying. :(

We can only guess why, but many times things just won't onebox, usually blog posts, and recently xkcd as well.

If race condition, maybe add some timer to delay the onebox a few minutes, so when it's posted in chat, the actual content is already safely in place.

Any requests? :D
