v6 - Pausing doesn't pause

[UPDATE: In this episode, I referenced Stripe having an IPO in the past tense. I was mistaken, they are not (yet) publicly traded. We regret the error.]

The audio is better this week! I'm learning.

Also, I finally had something to talk about that has nothing to do with Apple! The target of the ion cannon that is my mouth this time? drumroll… it's Stripe! Sorry, Stripe. If you like rants about software quality and the systemic reasons everything is terrible, hoo boy! This one brings the heat. 🔥🔥🔥

We're starting to work down our mailbag backlog, so help me freshen it up by e-mailing the show at [email protected] and our dedicated staff (me) will read it and—potentially, maybe—respond on the air!

And now, some URLs:

• Scott Hanselman didn't (doesn't?) think profanity works
• Mike McQuaid's appearance on Changelog and Friends to talk about Workbrew
• Aaron's humble love-making blog post
• Stripe's problematic pause button, which invokes this feature, and which their COVID-19 support page touts
• iMessage's post-quantum cryptography
• Execute Program by Gary Bernhardt, one of the only educational services teaching programming that I can recommend
• Arcade Paradise is a good game
• The Killer is a movie

Also, "Team Bally Total Fitness Extreme Racing" doesn't turn up anything on Google. Just an FYI
