Hi everyone,
I’m based in UAE but rented from Thrifty at DXB airport in December. My only physical card transaction there was the deposit. Fast forward to today: multiple unauthorized attempts hit my card in a short burst - many blocked by OTP or my bank’s app prompts, but two slipped through on Amazon.ae: one for 1,899 AED and another for 423 AED.
Accounts are secured with 2FA (authenticator/SMS). I have no idea how Amazon allowed these… Any thoughts?

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer. I’m interviewing next week for a solutions engineer at a company I really like, which I mistakenly applied for as I saw they needed ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS. Upon reading the job description, it’s clear I will be doing a lot of sales and client consulting over actually coding. I know they have a FE SWE role open. How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

I woke up this morning, went to the gym, made myself a nice breakfast. Folded some laundry, cleaned up the apartment and now I’m working outdoors at a coffee shop. Lunch hour is blocked so I can take a nice walk and listen to a podcast. God I love remote working.

I have been waiting/looking for this exact bowl. It’s graduation season. Get ready for the “I’m proud to announce” LinkedIn posts that none of us give a piss about. May we post and roast mercilessly.
